Nacional 27

Went to a fancy restaurant the other day with Erin. I have heard a lot of good things about Nacional 27, so I thought I would check it out. The restaurant serves modern Latin food and has a new and interesting approach to its ceviche. They also seem to take great pride in their cocktails cause they have a lot to choose from. The strange and great thing about this restaurant is later in the night they clear away several tables and become more of a dance club, they have dj's and dancing going on till 2 in the morning. Our dinner was earlier so, missed this, but do want to go back and see what its all about. The drinks we had were actually really good and made me want to check out some of there other fancy drinks, but held off. There is a 100$ drink called the millionaire something and has gold in it, that's a little ridiculous and obviously I wasn't going near that. The food we had was really good, we started off with a watermelon and Ahi tuna cheviche, which tasted like no other cheviche I have had before. The cheviche tasted like they switched the lime from a normal ceviche and used watermelon, it was interesting. We then tried some tapas as an appetizer and got the chicken empanadas, which were also very good. For dinner I got the steak tenderloin medallions which was obviously delicious and melted in your mouth. The steaks came laid over potatoes these were phenomenal. Erin got the pacific blue nose "hauchinango", a tropical white fish, laid over a salsa verde with cilantro. Hers was really fantastic and didn't taste at all fishy. For dessert I got the churros with three cheese ice cream. At this point I was really full, but still managed to force this down cause it was so good. Erin got the better of the desserts. She got, cuatro chocolates, which was chocolate cake, chocolate sorbet, pudding and chocolate milk. Overall the food was amazing and the atmosphere made you feel like you were definitely in a nice restaurant, but the feeling we got when we were there was they were rushing us. We received our cheviche and tapas at the same time as our bread and drinks then 5 minutes later we received our main dishes. So we had to put our meals aside while we finished the first parts and the entrees some what cooled off. We figured what the hell though, but then when we did start finishing things our cheviche, empanadas, drinks and bread they never really came back to clear it off. It wasn't all that big a deal except that the food is kinda expensive so you figure you wouldn't really be rushed considering we were there at an early time and it was not that crowded. Any ways like I said the experience overall was good and I would probably go back, but I would go later maybe just for the tapas and the late night dancing.
