BONITO BISTRO – Spanish
Small, seasonal and open only five nights a week, Bonito Bistro runs a tight coastal card off Bonita Beach Road. Open with tuna crudo in yuzu ponzu, DemKota Ranch beef carpaccio, crispy Spanish octopus and Cheshire pork belly in black garlic aioli, or burrata alla caprese with pistachio-basil pesto. The white truffle tallow fries are worth ordering twice. Mains run from Piemonte carnaroli risotto with wild mushrooms to Antarctic salmon with parsnip puree, a bone-in pork chop in bourbon demi-glace, and herb-lemon roasted chicken. Its owner cites time at Le Bernardin and Bouchon. Dinner Tuesday through Saturday, from five onward.
