Playfulness & Sophistication At Distrito

Posted by Foobooz on September 18th, 2008

David Snyder reviews Jose Garces’ colorful Distrito.

Dual themes of playfulness and sophistication are echoed in Distrito’s menu. Garces and his chef de cuisine, Tim Spinner, who formerly helmed Garces’ Amada, turn out dishes that are festive while still retaining a sense of tradition. Dig underneath it all, though, and you’ll be wowed by layers of elegant, complex flavor. It’s this harmonious juxtaposition of fun and fancy that makes the fare so inspired.

    Distrito’s take on the Osso Bucco was certainly the one of the best I’ve had. A must-have with the Carne Kobe Tacos
