Chez Henri
A sexy mix between French decor and Latin music will entertain you as you delight in this French-Cuban cuisine restaurant. Start off by enjoying their vast wine list where you can find everything from a $23 Rioja Blanco to a $210 Richebourg Grand Cru, Mongeard-Mugneret. For those seeking adventure, explore the cocktail menu which includes Cuban mojitos and Brazilian caipirinas. Beware-the size of the drinks are deceiving, one will certainly do the trick.
Experiment different flavors through a wide selection of appetizers including the Tiradito de Atun for a tuna sashimi with a citric/spicy sauce, the Ceviche Mixta for a mixture of shrimp, fish and octopus with a coconut/lime sauce and the Steak Tartar for an originally fresh dish.
Follow with my personal entr‚e recommendation Rice Crusted Tuna. A fresh pepper seared tuna in a citric sauce with coconut rice.
To indulge a sweet tooth you can choose between a traditional well known Warm Chocolate Pudding or an exotic Flan.
Also for those seeking a better-deal, try the Dinner Prix Fix for $39 for a three course meal or its top notch Bar Food Cuban Sandwich which goes at $13 and can basically feed two.
