There is a place on north Clark called TOPOLOMBAMPO.  It offers, what I hesitate to call, Mexican food.  Its a fancy quiet place with great food that has a mexican leaning.  You wont find tacos here.  Instead you'll find the freshest of fish with funky salsas and relishes.  Its next door to the FRONTERA GRILL, its more well known counterpart.  TFrontera also offers upscale gourmet mexican but in a more casual, bustling setting. TOPOLOBAMPO is quieter; the service is good, and I would call it romantic.

Has anyone else ever been?  I'd like to read your thoughts.

Yep - had a great meal with a waiter who kept us very entertained.  My SO had red snapper which I loved :)

A fine restaurant; good service, great food, and a fun atmosphere.
