"If you have the blahs, Cúrate, with its extraordinary, authentic tapas and fun atmosphere, is the cure. The nationally known chef-owner, Katie Button, showcases the flavors of Spain in about four dozen small plates (the plates themselves are locally made pottery), with special attention to cured Iberian ham dishes and seafood items such as octopus and calamari."

Stephanie Burt

"Chef Katie Button isn't a multi–James Beard Award nominee for nothing, so any choice is wise, from the octopus or the sardines, to the cochinillo, a quarter of a roasted suckling pig."

Stephanie Burt

"The menu changes seasonally, but one of the must-eats includes the pan con tomate."
