What a different experience from what I'll just refer to as the unhealthy "healthy" vegan chinese food fiasco of last month. This place, on the other hand, was a blend of fresh ingredients prepared with skill and balance. I'm definitely a carnivore but if a herbivore dish is done right, the meat is not missed at all.
The night started off on the right foot with free Sangria with Yelp check-in! Nice! :)
Our table of 3 started with an order of the Buffalo cauliflower "wings" and they were superb. I'm generally not the biggest fan of cauliflower and will only eat them if they're prepared in certain ways but this dish was certainly a cut above any cauliflower dish I've ever had before. The cauliflower was cooked 'til semi-soft then charred to get some nice caramelized edges, then tossed in a perfectly spicy buffalo wing sauce. The dish was served with some celery sticks and a house-made ranch dipping sauce.
The three entrees that were ordered were Masaman curry, Sweet potato ravioli, and the Russian standard which is gluten free penne pasta in a vodka sauce. I didn't taste the other two dishes but my Thai curry was delicious. The menu said it comes with sweet potato noodles but I think mine were rice noodles instead. It had some al-dente vegetables in it with a thai yellow curry sauce. The dish was really flavorful and the portion was perfect.
My friends said their dishes were great as well, they both have been here numerous times so know how good this place is.
The place is a bit on the small side with seating for about 50 maybe and has a cool trendy vibe. I definitely like the music they were playing which ranged from The Cure to the Ramones, The Jim Carrol Band and Social D. Very cool. This area of downtown has some really good restaurants opening up and this place is a great part of that resurgence.
