Cortez is a small plate resturant, the idea is to share 5 or 6 small plates and get more great tastes than you would have normally.
Cortez was wonderful. We started with shots of soup -- great presentation, wonderful taste. Next crab cakes then smoked trout served over a small salad - both were tremendous. The Gnocchi was served with chanterelles and pancetta - also wonderful. Perhaps the best thing on the menu -- was the rack of lamb. They do it with an almost sweet date and mint crust and it's the best I've had.
The milkshake shots are wonderful and they serve beignets wth a chocolate fondue that are to die for. Drinks may be matched to each of the deserts. We finished with an amond brown butter cake with greek yogurt -- again to die for.
This is a real treat -- don't miss it.
Pros: Great food, Stylish presentation, Fine service
Cons: A bit noisey
