At Nacional 27, exotic fare, unique cocktails and a sophisticated setting blend as effortlessly as the flavors of the 27 Central and South American countries represented on the restaurant's menu. From Cuban-style boniato and plantain croquetas to ceviches, Argentine-inspired steak cuts, and pork platters, the fusion dishes delight the taste buds with bursts of tangy flavor combinations. Unique salsas, such as a pineapple-vanilla blend, add to the excitement on your plate. Complement your spicy meal with a cava martini, a caipirinha, or another drink from Nacional's cocktail list. Be sure to save room for dessert -- the exquisitely rich cuatro chocolates promises to satisfy raging chocoholic desires with its flourless cake, mousse, sorbet, and tiny chocolate shake, and the cinnamon churros topped with dulce de leche ice cream provide a sweet and modern alternative. The popular supper club concept means that you can expect pulsating Latin rhythms and salsa moves to take over on weekends after 11PM, when the lights dim and servers push tables aside to create a centrally-located dance floor. Come to see and be seen by an upscale, well-dressed crowd.

A large group of us went for a birthday party, and after reading all of these reviews, I was very disappointed. The food WAS delicious, however, the service was very poor. We repeatedly asked for a cocktail server and after 2 HOURS of no service, went to the bar where we were met by rude bartenders (again, after waiting 20 minutes.) I asked to see a manager, but one never appeared. Perhaps try this place during the week for better service.

This bar reminded me of a bar you'd see on Sex and the City. Great food and the drinks are made well. Trendy crowd that ranges in age from mid-20-s to 40-ish. Well dressed people with a large latin clientele. The managers tend to be a bit rude (we once had to argue with the manager when he told us, all we had to do was bring a receipt from dinner and we would get the cover $ back, afterward we went back and he said we hadn't spent enough on food even though the bill ended up being higher than the cover..interesting) also, the managers survey the crowd as if everyone is an underaged criminal...(i took my underage sister here and she got in without a problem- problems for them, but she loved it!) anyway, it's overall a good place to go and a blast. The latin men are outgoing and love to dance. A great time! I would give it 5 stars but the managerial staff's rudeness sucks...bartenders are awesome and really nice...free drinks anyone? I guess it helps to be a hot girl in your 20s, but either way we were thankful. Highly recommended.

I loved this restaurant!! The food was delicious, the staff very nice, and the restaurant is very romantic and intimate. The portions are small, but I left feeling very satisfied. My friend and I each had a drink, the tapas platter, and desert for 50 bucks (for both of us). I greatly enjoyed it and will go back again!!!
