Playa:
Opening a new restaurant on the relatively packed 5th Ave. in Park Slope is a daunting task, but Playa looks like it'll be here to stay. Vibrant and flavorful pan-Latin dishes go for around $9, and though the menu focuses on seafood, carnivores will find a lot to love here. Bright décor and reasonable prices make this a great spot for a date, but you'll also feel welcome if you stop by the bar solo for a quick bite. Either way, make sure you ask for baskets of ancho chile-dusted popcorn. Playa has a limited beer list, so why not go all out with Latin cocktails made with fresh fruit? Better yet, go with friends and get the $16 Bonfire Bowl. Open Mon.-Thurs. 5pm-11pm, Fri.-Sat. 5pm-12am, Sun. 5pm-10pm.
I WENT TO EAT THINKING THE FOOD WAS GOING TO BE GOOD, BUT IT WAS SUCH A HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT. THE SERVINGS WERE SMALL FOR THE PRICE AND NOT EVEN TASTY. MY PARTY OF FOUR WAITED 45 MINUTES FOR APPETIZERS AND WHEN FINALLY THEY ARRIVED THE GUACOMOLE WAS REALLY SOUR AND UNRIPE AND I COULD GO ON ABOUT THE REST OF THE FOOD... I GUESS THE ONLY THING NICE I CAN SAY, IS THAT THE PLACE LOOKS NICE....
