Sea Urchin Ceviche@Artio
Over the course of the past 5 years, we’ve eaten at just about every restaurant in SMA. One thing we know: it takes a long time to find your favorite foods.
So what are some of our favorites; the food worth coming to SMA for just to eat? After a lot of deliberation, we narrowed it down to just three in each category; there could have been at least a dozen.
We don’t have to tell you why we love these dishes; you’ve been reading about them for awhile. Instead, we’ll just dish you up a visual and make you hungry.
Buen Apetito!
