Eclectic

(From December 2010) Chef Henry Hamor is indeed “redefining dining,” and delighting his patrons to boot, at this Harlingen fusion eatery, where a meal may take you to France and Italy, Thailand and the Philippines, all in one night. We started with the Calesa salad (spinach, crispy bacon, red onion, tomato, and Asiago cheese), then moved on to a creamy butternut squash soup dotted with bits of tender crab. Said crustacean also made an appearance in our favorite dish of the evening: a slightly spicy, lightly breaded crab cake perched on a bed of diced pineapple and drizzled with cilantro mayonnaise. Beer & wine.
