La Brasa

You walk in and are immediately welcomed with the warm smell of the wood oven, cool greenery and cozy decorations! This paired with $1 oyster special was exactly what we needed on a cold fall day. The food and service were excellent, and we stayed and dined for quite some time.My favorites were the lamb tostada and the tacos for appetizers. The swordfish and the duck entrees were amazing- served in a creamy sauce and mole sauce respectively, and very nicely arranged! Great decor and atmosphere and great food!

I like this place. It's one of those, if I lived in the neighborhood, I'd be there all the time spots. I've been here 2x - with 1.5 years between visits (l live in Seattle), and have been fairly impressed by the food both times.This round, opted for the striped bass, and fried chicken wing in mesquite brown butter - a must have. The meal was pricey. But I won't hold that against them. It was also delicious. When in Rome. Or Boston.

The $1 oyster deal drew us here. Oysters were good, but the rest of the dishes were only okay and overpriced. The potatoes could've been really good, but they were oversalted. The vegetarian tacos were not great and definitely not worth it at $5 each. Didn't try the drinks, but would consider coming back for a cocktail since the atmosphere is so nice. Service was also attentive and quick (though we felt slightly judged for not ordering more).
