The name Ceiba pays tribute to the imposing umbrella-shaped tree found throughout the new-world tropics, and not surprisingly, the food is Contemporary Latin American cuisine, specifically Yucatan (Vera Cruz and Cancun), Brazilian (Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro), Peruvian, and Cuban. Chef-owner Jeff Tunks and his partners made extensive research and buying trips to Brazil and the Yucatan, and it shows in the menu, the presentation, and the restaurants dramatic décor.
“The nameCeiba (pronounced SAY-bah) refers to a tree indigenous to much of the region and purported to have mystical properties. No sooner had the restaurant opened in September, though, than the word also became a synonym for something else: good times.”
