D'Noche

In the glow of flickering candles and a fireplace encased in glass, a vibrant crowd throws back fresh fruit cocktails and nibbles on ceviche soaked in lime with hunks of avocado or shrimp coctele in citrusy tomato juice. This is the upscale dinner sibling to the adjacent Café con Leche, and while the classic Latin sandwiches like the Cuban and the jibarito are as good as they are next door, head straight to hearty entrées such as tender pork chops given an al pastor makeover or juicy skirt steak slathered in a sauce of roasted arbol chilies and pumpkin seeds and crowned with a tower of impressive onion rings.
