Chef Jean-Philippe Patruno of the now-defunct Bomba Paella Bar returns with Una, a brand-new restaurant and tapas bar with a melange of Spanish, French and Italian flavors.

The menu is brief, with just over 20 items, including starters like a hanger steak tartare with egg yolk and watercress (from $28), mains such as ox cheeks with persillade snails (from $33) and, for dessert, a bitter chocolate with salted rosemary soil (what? yes please!).

Also intriguing is the second-floor tapas bar where, in addition to the obligatory artisanal cocktails, spirits and wine, you can sip on your grandmother's favorite drink, sherry. Sherry producers have made a big push in recent years to make their fortified Spanish wine exciting, and Una is working in partnership with Jerez biggies, Tio Pepe. 

We will no doubt soon be lending our livers to this noble sexification campaign. Stay tuned for more.
