Little Cay – Latin Caribbean Kitchen unites many far-flung flavors of the Caribbean, with mixed results. A vibrant design theme runs through the high-ceilinged dining room. People clench churrasco steak sandwiches, fork into vaca frita, sip Cuban coffee at a long, bright bar. Service is nice, warm. Some of the classics could use more zap, […]
