| - I have been hearing a lot about this restaurant and finally had the chance to eat there for dinner. The dining room is below street level and feels warm and comfortable. Service was superb and there was no rush, even though it took us a while to decide what to order! Now to the wine and food. Their wine list is varied and pricing is reasonable. We ordered a bottle of the "Frogs Leap Zinfandel and it was delightful! The menu gives you the option of ordering several small plates, which I did, or a nice sized entree. I ordered the Calamari, which was an amazing blend of Cilantro, tiny slices of carrots, and hints of a Thai peanut sauce and small pieces of chopped peanuts. The calamari was tender and cooked to perfection. My guest shared this and also really enjoyed it. As my other course, I ordered the Mussels and frites, which were cooked perfectly, tender, with a nice white wine broth and plated with the frites resting on top. Excellent! My guest had the Halibut, which was paired with shrimp and served alongside a saffron flavored risotto cake. I was lucky to taste a bit in exchange for a few mussels and frites! If you have read my other reviews, I am a bit of a frites and mussels aficionado and both now move up with the best I've enjoyed.
I'll definitely be back and can't wait to try them for lunch as their menu looks very appealing!
