El Chilar traditionalists beware: This is not the place you fell in love with. Rest assured, one visit to the renovated El Chilar will inspire you to take your relationship to the next level. Chef Armando Montano has transformed this once casual jewel into a vibrant restaurant and wine bar so packed that reservations are a must. His passion for playful Mexican cuisine is evident, as he blends the traditional flavors of this country into imaginative and heavenly offerings. Among the most popular dinner options are the duck enchiladas or the cascabel chile-marinated flank steak. These choices may not be offered when you arrive, however, as Chef Armando is known to frequently change his menu. At night, candlelight adds a sparkle of romance to the setting. El Chilar also offers a full bar, an ample selection of wines, and a sleek wine bar area in which to enjoy them. Air-conditioned indoor dining is available.
