The Scene – An elegantly earthy decor makes the space feel like a fancy South American eco-lodge, with natural design elements like a slate bar, a wood-beamed ceiling and smooth stones stacked in wire mesh niches. An olive tree stretching to the second story provides the focal point, gauzy white drapes allow intimacy without isolating diners and khaki couches supply comfy seating upstairs. – – The Food – The menu lives up to the restaurant's name, which means hopscotch. The "freestyle Latino" cuisine jumps borders, picking up flavors along the way and rarely losing…

Cool spot
by P27NYC
Went with two friends of mine a while ago. Nice spot. Loved the decor, seating and the constantly smiling hostess. We tried a couple of ceviches, steak and the Chilean seabass (I always order it at every restaurant I go to if its on the menu). The food was very good, or, rather excellent. The only downside: the portions could be a bit larger. The three of us ended up ordering six appetizers, four main courses and three desserts. The wine list is excellent as well - short, but well priced with some excellent selections. (the 2001 Almaviva was the BOMB!). Long story short... we would be coming back soon.
- Pros: win list, always smiling hostess, food
- Cons: portions could be a bit larger...

I left hungry
by CSMobileUser2

The waiter kept filling up my peligrino after one sip, which got irritating. They're mixed green cocktail she recommended was herendous! Seating was uncomfortable.
