I cannot recommend Extra Virgin enough. Located in the Crossroads District, it is a more casual eatery from Michael Smith and located right next door to his flagship restaurant. The concept is tapas from the basic to the exotic and the menu changes seasonally. I have made three visits in the past several weeks and was never disappointed.
BIG TIP: most of their tapas are half-price from 11am-6pm so this is a fantastic value for lunch.
The decor is earthy and warm with some beautiful ironwork in an olive pattern. The servers are knowledgeable and bring your food out in stages so you enjoy the meal at a nice pace. There are way too many great dishes, but I have greatly enjoyed the cabrito tacos, the ahi tuna tacos, pane con tomate, chicken with chorizo and figs, lemony salad with goat cheese, watermelon and tomato salad, shrimp gratin, and turkish lamb meatballs. The wild boar and baked mussels were okay but not my favorites. There is truly something for everyone on the menu here, from the picky eater to the foodie extraordinaire. Try it today!!!!
