Cure
I've been wanting to visit Cure ever since it was launched. Helmed by the man who used to head up small-plates pioneer Esquina , Cure is a personal homage to the chef's modern European sensibilities. Whereas Esquina boasted a wide repertoire of Spanish-stylings, Cure 's menu is notably trimmer, and decidedly focused on seasonal artisanal produce. As per S.O.P. with regards to new openings, I waited for Cure to pass its first birthday (and find its ground), before visiting. And dinner at Cure was a classic example of how delayed gratification could be a great great thing. The food was mindblowingly magnificent, and memorably sublime. The balance, the restrain, the finesse, was evident in every plate. One of 2016's best eats for sure. Service was phenomenal as well. Slick, efficient, knowledgeable, but personable and cheeky. Cure managed the class of a fine dining destination, but without the ancillary stuffiness. Here at Cure , you kick-back over a mellow unfuss
