Dall Restaurant & Tapas Bar

With its various Andalusian artifacts, scarlet walls, and mysterious clothesline of lingerie strung through the middle of the restaurant, Daft looks like a whorehouse from a Bunuel film. We like to make entrees of the tapas: particularly strong are the pork sausage with figs, the green-lipped mussels with avocado, and the roast duckling with berry sauce. Those willing to offend their partners and coworkers may brave the pungent garlic soup.
