Cilantro's

Category: Restaurants

Cilantro and its food are appealing, especially in its quest to present a wider range of Mexican food in authentic dishes. They take the high road, an upscale approach to a cuisine that is so often shorthanded. The restaurant is in a pretty room painted in deep teal with a few tasteful prints on the wall. The plates are beautifully decorated; there's a nice little bar and the staff is very welcoming and solicitous.
