Rendezvous Tapas Lounge has a small but focused cocktail list, with an interesting twist on a traditional mojito. The Rendezvous version mixes Bacardi rum, lime, mint, and simple syrup and is topped with sparkling wine for a fizzy feel. Top Chef Season 6 contestant Mattin Noblia, last spotted at his now-shuttered Iluna Basque restaurant, is providing the small plates at this new spot. Soft-open since May 6, Rendezvous is having its grand opening all weekend with food and drink specials.
