Formerly AYCE seafood concept Copa by Sea, this sleek, 60-seat space has been
warmed up in various ways; a lit-up neon ‘caliente’ (Spanish for ‘hot’) sign beckons
patrons to snap a pic for the ‘gram, while an eye-catching wood-fired grill takes centre
stage with chef Gastao Rodrigues at the helm.

($14), Spanish for ‘good vibes’—a shaken mix of Plantation pineapple rum and five-
spice pineapple cordial with a garnish of lime and mint—is literally lit on fire.
