| - Asian fusion seems like a bit of a cliche by now, but when you do it as creatively as Bac, it's not cliched at all. In fact, we really enjoyed our dinner here, which I think probably covered their menu pretty well. We started with a very clever "autumn roll" that fused Vietnamese technique with classic Thanksgiving flavors. To be honest, it sounded so awful, we tried it as a silent dare to the kitchen... but they pulled it off, and it was delicious. For entrees, we had a green curry that would be at home in any Thai restaurant (except for the fascinating and effective avocado), and a short rib hot pot that blended Chinese, Korean and Vietnamese flavors but presented almost like an American pot roast. If I wanted a specific Asian cuisine, I probably would not come here, but I'll be back to enjoy the good and pretty reasonably priced food, and to see more creativity from the kitchen.
