The Scene – This upscale restaurant's chic decor features red upholstered chairs and white-clothed tables in a spacious dining room designed around a glass-enclosed wine room. The stylish clientele nosh on exotic Latin American appetizers, such as reina pepiada--cool guacamole and chicken salad wedged in a tower of warm corn chips. Entrees include suckling pig with cinnamon-spiced plantain puree and filet mignon with olive oil-based chimichurri sauce. Wrap up the meal with a delicate chocolate souffle.

overpriced gables restaurant
by drralphpinot at Citysearch
After a long awaited Valentine' Day dinner it came to our suprised that the restaurant had a set menu for Valentine's Day. The portions were so small I could not see it on my plate. It was totally overpriced. Left restaurant, paid bill and ended up eating elsewhere because I was still hungry. Thanks but no thanks, I will not visit this restaurant again.
- Pros: valet parking available
- Cons: too expensive for amount of food given & taste not good enough

Gourmet food every step of the way

The staff will be more than happy to recommend a fantastic wine to go with your meal and their recommendations are good or you can peruse their extensive list. We started with the fish ceviche appetizer which was fantastically good. I had the Pan Seared Salmon Fillet. It was perfect. My friend had the Braised veal cheeks: fall-apart tender and not oversauced.
The meals couldn't have been more perfect.
- Pros: Consistently good, gourmet food
- Cons: Can get to be a bit on the pricey side

Excellent food and great wines!

Have enjoyed many dinners at CACAO's -the wild boar is a must, and the veal is superb!
The tiradito trio to begin with is delicious - and for wines - try their South African selections - Great ambiance and elegant decor - great place to enjoy dinner with a group of friends-
