Editorial Review for Ciudad – by Jane Tunks
The Scene
Walls and ceilings are splashed with Miro-like splotches and Picasso-esque scribblings. The playful decor is quirky enough that hipsters won't feel guilty about using their gold cards, yet trendy enough to entice suburban foodies to come downtown.
The Food
Diners embark on a giddy tour of Latin cuisine. Appetizers are the most seductive--pliant slices of sushi-quality albacore are slicked with chili and citrus, and Bolivian sweet corn tamales are meltingly rich. The best of the uniformly delicious starters: Argentine empanadas stuffed with wild mushrooms and Swiss chard. Cuban beef stew is kicked up with a dark-rum orange sauce. Moqueca, a Brazilian dish, is a jumble of fish, lobster and shrimp adrift in a subtle coconut-lime broth--the whole concoction ladled over cilantro rice.

Reviewed by: Anissa Tetreault - I loved this restaurant. The food was so delicious and unique. The ambience was crisp and clean. A great place to have dinner before the Theatre.
Pros: Close to The Ahmanson Theatre.

Nice location downtown and nice patio but generally mediocre food at inflated prices. We sent back two dishes that were just not very good or tasty. The service was very good but service does not make up for high prices and bland food. Go somewhere else.
