Utopia Latin American Grill & Lounge

One of my favorite things to do is visit new restaurants, and I had the opportunity once again about two weeks ago during a political event. 

Driving by, you might not even know 'Utopia' was even there, but it is very much worth going a bit out of your way for.  Recently opened by Alvaro Cervera, the Latin American Grill and Lounge inside Utopia offers its diners a full range of items.  On the evening we were there, they limited the menu to only a fish dish, and a steak.  They also offered a slice of cheesecake for dessert. 

I wasn't really hungry, so I just ordered dessert, and I also sampled a small piece of the Churrasco marinated skirt steak, which was just to die for.  Perfectly seasoned and cooked, it left me wishing that I'd ordered one for myself.

But I didn't, so I figured that I'd just 'settle' for my Cheese Cake.  I suppose after sampling the steak and recognizing that the owner obviously takes a lot of pride in the place, I shouldn't have expected anything less than a great dessert, because that was exactly the case.  The Cheesecake was light and creamy with a thin glazed topping, and just a distant lemon finish.  It was in a word, excellent.

A group of my friends and I are planning on revisiting very soon, and I am very much looking forward to the trip.  This new restaurant/lounge at 2470 Greenview Cove Dr. in Wellington, FL is set right on the Polo Grounds and across from a Golf Course, and is going to become the place in Wellington for anyone looking to unwind and relax after a long day or week. 

They are open Tuesday through Sunday.  Their phone number is 858 847 5161, and you can find them on the web at www.utopiacuisine.com.
