Fodor's Review:

If you only have one meal in Guatemala City, head to Jake Denburg's place. A painter-turned-restaurateur, Jake uses his creative talents on food, producing dishes ranging from handmade smoked-chicken tortellini to robalo (snook) in a green-pepper sauce. The crowning achievement is the vaquero chino (Chinese cowboy), a tenderloin steak served with a sweet soy, espresso, and star anise sauce. The restaurant is a beautiful converted farmhouse with hardwood ceilings, tile floors, an outdoor patio, and new lounge. The wine list is quite possibly the best in Central America.
