Update time! Unfortunately, my previous rating was only updated, not upgraded. A friend and I had intended to hit Bon Giorno for a quick bite before our Knife Skills class at In the Kitchen. The sign on the Bon Giorno door said "Open for Dinner!" The door was locked. Hmmm. We knocked, a guy came out and told us they're not open on Monday nights. Hmmm....perhaps there should have been an asterisk with a notation to that effect? I digress.
Anyhoo....Kaya was our fallback dinner spot. It was pretty empty, but then it was a Monday and it was only 4:30 so that wasn't a bad sign. Or was it? Our movie-star-handsome-waiter highly recommended the Jamaican green curry. I LOVE curry! It came with saffron rice. I LOVE saffron rice! They could make it with shrimp. I...well, you get the picture. Both my dining companion and I ordered the curry - how could we go wrong? Fail. It was acceptable. Period. No punch of heat, although I'd ordered it hot. The veggies were cut oddly with huge chunks of carrots and tiny pieces of green beans and cauliflower among other veggies making for hard carrots and the rest of the veggies overcooked and soft. So disappointing. My dining partner tried hers, but didn't even eat it. Not wanting to hurt the waiter's feelings, she had him pack it up and then tossed it in the trash outside.
I guess Fried Chicken Thursday is the night to go. It sure wasn't Monday. Hard to believe this is a Big Burrito restaurant.
