Gift Certificate Dinner ($75)

After an ownership reshuffling, the Chelsea tapas bar reopened in 2010 with a paint job, some reengineered standing room, and a huge new chalkboard menu. What you’ll see on it: multi-regional tapas, with new additions like nuestras bravas, crisp potatoes with spicy aioli, and tortilla de gambas, or shrimp wafers. Chef-partners Alex Raij and Eder Montero have also instituted a rotating “menú turistico,” showcasing the food and wine of a specific region. Up first is Galicia, with caldo gallego and sardine pie. To drink, there are two new cocktails, sangria by the glass or pitcher, and a choice of sherries. And Raij’s signature uni panini, of which she has regained custody? “That’s not going anywhere,” she reassures. — Rob Patronite and Robin Raisfeld
