Cuchillo for dinner

Heard lots of good things about the place and finally got around to trying it out with the GF.

Shared the trout civiche, yuca fries, and sablefish. All items were really great, especially the sablefish. Fish was expertly prepared, flavors were bright, and it paired really well with the grilled coconut corn and pana fritas. And for $24, may be one of the best and most affordable sablefish dishes in the city. Wanted to try the Dulce de Leche dessert but was too full.

Drinks were also excellent. Not sure who their mixologist is, but they have some really innovative drinks made with tequila, gin, scotch, etc. They are on the pricey side ($10 to $12) but I feel that they were worth it in the end since they were plenty boozey and took skill to make.

I've heard that the service can be hit or miss, but we received very attentive and friendly service from our server. Made recommendations on food and beverage and always filled our water. Nothing more you can ask for.

Food - 9/10
Drinks - 9/10
Service - 10/10

Overall - 9.5/10 Will be going back to try other items once my wallet recovers a bit.
