Ana Castro's ambitious Lower Garden District restaurant, among the most daring kitchens in the South — progressive Mexican fine dining that bears no resemblance to what the phrase usually summons. The multi-course tasting menu is the only way to experience it: trust it completely, and let the moles, which are transcendent, make the case. Reservations are essential. This is destination dining for anyone who wants to be genuinely surprised, a chef working at the edge of what the city's restaurants attempt.
