"The interior is fantastic, exciting and bold," said guest Kim Bova, the executive director of Ridgefield Chamber of Commerce.

The opening drew a full house, said Steven Kakavelis, an owner along with Paul Nicovic and Angel Pena-Ferna. All three live in Ridgefield. 

The restaurant, located in the CVS Plaza, is in a ripe downtown location for dinner and nightlife.

"We try to be a fun place. Come with your family. Come with your date. Come with your friends. We are here for everybody."

The cuisine is Latin fusion. "We serve organic. Our salads have organic ingredients. Our meats are grass fed. We serve wild-caught seafood. We even have avocado straws at the bar," Kakavelis said.

The bar offers a large selection of handcrafted cocktails and many varieties of Tequila and is open to 2 a.m. Currently closed Mondays, in June the restaurant will be open from 11:30 a.m. to 11 p.m. every day.
