| - 1st time here since the transition from river moon, glad to see dan (chef/owner) has addressed noise issues(my pet peeve) with sound absorbent wall and ceiling treatments, i wish many more establishments would do likewise.
but on to the important stuff- the food, which was just really, really good. i've read the other reviews on yelp & urban-spoon and pretty much agree with all the positives and would like to add my take on an entree that wasn't mentioned (i think) by anyone else-the pasta el aziza. the cider reduction is incredible, bursting with flavor, balancing the tart and sweet of the apples/cider/dates with the heartiness of the turkey and needless to say the farfalle was perfectly al dente. what a unique dish. our waiter, jason had described it as lighter than some other choices, clearly he didn't mean in flavor, if you're looking for a healthy pasta dish-this is it. speaking of jason, he and his assistant were gracious, efficient, and knowledgeable.
for dessert - the chocolate cake, made by josephine(of river moon fame), was not as dense and intense as a similar (superb) offering at legume, but quite acceptably good. the other 3 choices sounded as good or better, but i only had enough room to share the one.
a tip of my cap to chef dan and his staff. i'll be back for more.
