It's a place to give one's canines, be they furry or pearly, a proper workout. For dogs, an off-leash play area lends to the sights, sounds and scents of hounds a-humping, schnauzers a-sniffing and whippets a-whizzing. But on the other side of the fence, an ambitious menu by Citricos alum Chris Hernandez has guests pawing at superbly executed dishes fusing Cuban, Puerto Rican and Lebanese flavors. There's even a specially curated food menu for pups — you know, for those dog day afternoons.
