| - Thank you Groupon, for introducing me to this great restaurant.
Tried to make a reservation online on Thursday for dinner on Friday. Not wanting to eat dinner at 5 or 10pm, I called and was able to get 2 seats at the "exhibition kitchen" (bar where you can watch the chefs cook) at 7:45pm. Thanks to reviews and recommendations from friends, I knew this seating would be perfect for us.
Our waiter was attentive but not overwhelming. He talked up the fresh sangria, so we both ended up with a pint glass of it. It was good and not too sweet or strong.
As a vegetarian, I knew eating at a restaurant known for their sushi and fish would give me limited options. I was happy to see some vegetarian tapas, a vegan roll, and one vegetarian entree.
We started with the spicy vegan roll, which was not spicy at all. I didn't taste any jalapeno. However, the presentation and taste of the roll was good overall.
Dinner was chile relleno, which was amazing. The mole sauce was perfect, the pepper was blackened and delicious. The quinoa complemented the pepper and sauce. It was a good size dish-we had no problem finishing it and were satisfied.
This is a great date restaurant, and sitting at the bar is a great opportunity to see expert chefs at their best. The kitchen was extremely well organized. Yes, it's pricy, but for the special night out it's great.
