My darling boyfriend took me to to Mojito last week for my 30th birthday. Everything was gorgeous, from the atmosphere to the service and especially the food. We had a variety of tapas: the calamari was cooked to perfection; the caesar was light and crisp, topped with a lovely crouton with an anchovy; the shrimp in garlic was just garlicky enough, with a little citrus for tartness; the beef skewer with blue cheese and port wine sauce was again, cooked to perfection with a delicious straight forward flavor; and, the cheese plate was lovely, well balanced and had several nice accompaniments. The chefs certainly know how to let the ingredients speak for themselves and not overdo things. We finished our meal with the churros and the goat cheese flan. Both were heavenly, but I think I enjoyed the actual meal more than the desserts, which is odd for me. I also had a lovely mojito made with spearmint. We dined at the bar, served by my favorite bartender in Louisville, Steven Higdon and by another friendly young lady, whose name I can't recall.
It was a perfect meal, with great personable service; it moved along at a nice pace-not too quickly, but not much time between courses. I can't wait to return. I seriously can't think of one complaint. They've done their homework; the staff is friendly; and every meal I saw leave the kitchen looked perfect.
