Editorial Review for Ideya – by Karen Hudes
The Scene
Whirring fans and flickering candles--which also illuminate the bar's many-hued bottles of rum--contribute to the breezy atmosphere of this crisply designed spot.
The Food
The salads and seafood are delightfully fresh, but try a medio dia here and you'll know why this pressed sandwich of ham, pork, cheese and a pickle makes people flip. House-specialty cocktails include the caipirinha, the classic Cuban mojito--made with freshly-crushed mint leaves--and creamy batidas. Try the mangomambo--a blend of spiced rum, mango puree, vanilla vodka, milk and coconut cream that's like a dessert for grown-ups--or have an iced bustelo brioso.

There's absolutely NO reason NOT to go to this hip Cuban-fusion SoHo storefront. Get a table in front of the mid-restaurant bar, get the mojitos (light or dark rum, both terrific) and ceviche started, and chill. It's not flashy, or overly atmospheric - they're not trying THAT hard. Gets crowded on weekends, if you're into that, but weeknights are mellower. The food ( I happen to LOVE Cuban, growing up in SoFla) is very good - most iems being updated versions of Caribbean classics.
