For restaurant week I decided, through the luxury of my company to try Trece. I had vaguely heard of it but was not disappointed that I decided to try it on a whim. On arrival my dinner guest and I were informed that our table was not ready but was offered a complementry drink from the bar while we waited. I chose the Pomegranate Margarita and was not disappointed with my choice. The flavor was clearly Pomegranate and did not have the characteristic tart margarita flavor you get with lesser quality margaritas. We were seated shortly afterwards, but not before I was able to take in the eclectic mix of patrons surrounding the bar. Because of it being restaurant week the menu was an extremely condensed version. The choices, however, were not lacking in variety. I chose for my appetizer the 13 ingredient tortilla soup. I was surprised on how well the flavors blended together but were still distinct from each other. This was one of the best tortilla soups I have eaten. My entree was the grilled salmon served over a mexican style vermicelli. The salmon was cooked to perfection, not dry but not under done either. The pasta was flavored with an coriander cumin tomato based sauce and was the perfect cup size portion. I did not have dessert but my companions who had joined me for dinner enjoyed their immensely especially the passion fruit cheesecake. The experience was wonderful and the wait staff was knowledgable and helpful. I recommend for a special occasion to give this restaurant a try. You will not be disappointed!\r
