Ceiba

Frommer's Review

Ceiba is the creation of Jeff Tunks, the chef maestro behind TenPenh, DC Coast, and Acadiana. Here at Ceiba, Tunks works his magic on seviches, offering four variations -- grouper, shrimp, tuna, and striped bass -- which you may order individually or as a sampler; and on other authentic Latin dishes, like the Veracruz-style red snapper, topped with tomatoes, capers, olives, and jalapeños. As is true at all Tunks establishments, fulsome drinks are integral to the experience and the ones offered here go down nicely: mojitos, mango margaritas, and pisco sours, as well as fine wines from Argentina and Chile. If you're stopping in for a quick fix, the bar menu complements those cocktails with tastes of octopus salad, beef empanadas, seviches, and assorted others; each item is reasonably priced from $9 to $16. If you like to be where the action is, try for a table in the main dining room, to your right as you walk in, rather than the room to your left.
