Ceviche Project
Featured In
Blink, and you might miss this tiny ceviche outpost from lawyer-turned-restaurateur Octavio Olivas, who hails from Mexico City. But that also means everyone in the small space is afforded a front-row seat as Olivas chops up fresh seafood and garnishes it with everything from lime and cilantro to yuzu gelée, serrano oil, trout roe, seaweed, and borage flowers—with daily rotating specials. There are a few sidewalk tables for those who prefer an al fresco experience.
How to book: Reservations can be made online.
