"A pre-dinner cocktail at the moody 686 Bar upstairs is a smart way to start an evening. Chef Lucho Martinez offers a contemporary look at Mexican ingredients, many of which are seafood. The signature dessert celebrates all things mamey." - The MICHELIN Guide US Editorial Team
"A pre-dinner cocktail at the moody 686 Bar upstairs is a smart way to start an evening in the capable hands of Chef Lucho Martinez. Named for his daughter Emilia, the intimate restaurant on the ground floor suits couples well, while the handsome kitchen takes a contemporary look at Mexican ingredients, many of which are seafood. Think a savory, crispy, carrot buñuelo covered in roe or an expertly grilled wedge of corvina with spinach set in a fragrant garlic foam. The signature dessert celebrates all things mamey, arriving as a thin, delicate tart, a light tiramisu, and a refreshing ice cream. Both the a la carte and the tasting menus overlap well enough, so no need to fret. Refined, bold flavors come through clearly in both." - Michelin Inspector
