tapas the evening - View this location on map Settle in for dinner at the hopping San Chez, a Tapas Bistro (616-776-6950), where an extensive menu joins traditional tapas -- try cazuela, a baked casserole of asparagus, artichoke hearts, cheese and crispy yucca crumble topping -- with a great wine list, along with heartier fare including paella, empanadas and Cuban rice and beans. Tapas average $6. For dessert and a thick Turkish coffee, simply amble into the adjoining Mezze Café and Cabaret, where you can savor a Cuban orange cake soaked in ginger cream sauce ($3.25) with a side of live music. Saturday performers, in a variety of styles, can be Latin crooners or old-school Chicago blues bands. NYT 38 West Fulton Street, Grand Rapids, MI Restaurant
