In this case it’s one of Buenos Aries’ top chefs in the kitchen, presiding over a charming dining room and jazz lounge that perks with life from late-Spring through early fall. Indoor/outdoor ambiance cocoon a décor of local wood, white-slipcovered furnishings and native textiles for a lunch and dinner scene that’s one of the more formal options in this boho-chic beach town.
