José Andrés fills this mezze restaurant with the energy of a market that never quite closes, the open kitchen turning meat on spits while the room hums in Aegean blues. The wide-ranging menu covers dips and pita, flatbreads, smoky vegetables, and braised lamb, built for sharing and grazing in whatever order feels right. The bar pours coastal spirits and riffs on classics. It holds a Michelin Bib Gourmand.
