Comodo

The buzzy eatery at the Freehand Hotel, outfitted in natural wood, rustic stone, and warm stone table lamps, features a pan-Latin menu highlighting the flavors of Mexico, Brazil, and beyond. Think: Lamb sliders, steelhead trout ceviche, pork belly arepas, carnitas tacos, and a 10 oz. Picañha sirloin. There's a quality selection of natural wines, while the festive cocktail list includes twists on the espresso martini along with tequila and mezcal-based concoctions. Certainly checks all our boxes!
