From a MarketBar chef and his Chez Panisse-pedigreed wifey, Bocanova's a sizable pan-American eatery that's done up with sweet Mexi-colored rugs, plush earth-toned leather booths, and big ol' waterfront-spying windows. Hearty grub runs the gamut from wild shrimp ceviche and Wagyu beef tenderloin crudo, to Yucatan seafood stew, to Argentine sirloin steak, grilled to perfection and served Messi.
