Editorial Review for Ipanema – by Patrick Rooney
The Scene
Formerly the Bidder's Suite, this quasi-basement was always charming but never more than since Ipanema took over. They've lightened up the whole room with a burnished wood tone, which is a vast improvement. The spot has always attracted urban cool-cats, but now the veggie fare draws 'em from all around. If you want romance, it's not that kind of place. But it will impress you with its unique aura and attention to the food. Plus, it's a hip place so you'll get some credit there as well.
The Food
The stuffed portobello cap with artichokes, pine nuts, grape tomatoes and fresh mozzarella pleases and the sweet potato fries are no taste bud duds. The daily chalkboard menu and generous portions will always bring you back. Good for vegetarians, veggie-lovers and, yes, there are a couple meat dishes usually, so feel free to take anyone.

Very fresh food. I always enjoy going to a restaurant where a chef really cares about the dishes he serves. Our food was absolutely perfect and well worth the wait. This place is typically filled with college kids, the emo-hipster liberal, no personality type, but the day we went there were not many people.
