This place was once the crash-and-burn Vatra, but now it's something really marvelous. Namely, a place where one can order delicious Tempura-Battered Tofu with mixed vegetables and buckwheat soba noodles. Really, where else? Also tasty is the half a roasted Herb Chicken with crispy potatoes and vegetables, and the delicious Steak Frites, a ten-ounce hangar steak with compound butter, petite salad, and hand-cut fries. We love the cool, upscale atmosphere and the cozy bar, which serves a really superb mojito. Read our review.
