Despite the neighborhood which leaves much to be desired, this restuarant is authentic and lovely.
I am tall, my date, also tall. We sat at the traditional basket tables underneath the thatch hut-like roof. We looked like Will Ferrel in Elf, and felt a bit silly, but it would not have been the same without the table designed for the food.
I seriously can not tell you what we ordered, we got an appetizer sampler and a meal sampler.
All of the bread is delicious and unlike anything I had ever had. I LOVE bread and was delighted to try a different kind. I may even purchase the flour used to make it.
It was definately not a first-date kind of place. You should know the person you are eating with pretty well considering the lack of utensils.
I really like the warm towel they provided to cleanse your hands before the meal.
