Arpa Restaurant   

A favorite yuppie dining spot, this elegant Interstate Tower venue offers warmth, class, intimacy and a striking chandelier aglow with clusters of glass grapes. Grapes are also on the menu, in the form of an extensive wine list and a selection of wine flights. But the specialty of the house here is tapas, a Spanish treat of small servings of savory tidbits (if you've ever made a meal of sushi or appetizers, you've got the idea). Flavors here are rich and exotic, and tapas plates (changing daily) can feature garlicky shrimp, grilled fruit, swordfish in tomato relish, stuffed scallops and piquant goat cheese drizzled with onion jam. Vegetarians take note -- it's fairly easy to make a meal of the meat-free selections. And if you're not in the mood to nibble a smorgasbord of small plates, just super-size it: Diners can make an entree out of any tapa on the menu. Tiny desserts (chocolate custard, molten chocolate cake) are tapa-sized morsels as well.
