    My wife and I are thrilled that Ceiba is in our neighborhood. The food is truly unique: it’s fantastic — esp. for so varied a menu. From the ceviche inflected with coconut milk and ginger in an ice bath of dry ice to the thick, rich cut of prime carne asada, from the glazed baked sea bass with its divine crust, to the broiled cauliflower in a rich curried gravy, from lamb shank to a gorgeous poblano stuffed with goat cheese and herbs, everything is delicious, and we begrudged not a penny of what we spent. (Dinner for two was about $160, including two lovely cocktails each.) service was cheerful and professional, and equally, we felt welcomed and appreciated. As a newcomer to the vicinity, we wish Ceiba well. We will be back!
