"Part Eclectic “tapas bar”, part “nightclub”, this resto-lounge in the heart of Plaza Midwood pleases a late-night crowd with its “clever” collection of small plates soundtracked by “great music”." Full review

"Trendy spot for American, Mediterranean, Asian fare with attitude, all designed with sharing in mind. Spicy feta, babaganoush, hummus, tzatziki dips with pita chips, savory sashimi tacos."

"The “lounge” part of the name is represented by moody lighting and the thumping of urban beats in the background music, but it’s the “gastro” part that keeps locals coming back for more." Full review
