ChaChah
There's a lot to say about Arnold Myint's latest Belmont landmark: From the vibrant canvases on warm white walls, to the crisp candied Asian pears floating in icy martinis, Myint seizes every opportunity to delight the senses. But no matter how creative and carnal the Asian-inspired Spanish-style tapas that grace the stainless-steel chef's table may be—from spicy shrimp to braised bison short ribs served in a hollowed-out bone—it's the surprisingly shameless decadence of the abuelita that makes ChaChah dance. In a pristine teapot, Myint delivers a sultry sludge of Mexican chocolate as unexpected as the contemporary culinary sensibilities that simmer inside the vintage bungalow. Carrington Fox
