| - When I walked into Naya for the first time, it reminded Bloom immediately (the restaurant that was here before Naya.) I can't believe the layout is still the same, even the half circled booths are still the same!
Taking advantage of restaurant week deal, a group of 6 stopped here for dinner. I'm surprised how their restaurant week menu consists very little Mediterranean flavor. First course are 3 kinds of salad (house, caesar and caprese), but no greek salad, or maybe some hummus? Second course are choices among filet mignon, salmon and chicken masala. Third course dessert are choices between creme brûlée and a pistachio flavored 'bird nest' pastry.
1st course - Caprese salad, very simple yet nice presentation. (but it's also not easy to mess up with mozzarella, tomato and bass, isn't it?) The taste was decent.
2nd course - Filet Mignon. My medium rare filet was cooked just right, but somehow the temperature was a little cold. The side of fries tasted good, but way too oily, and the steamed veggies are not worth to be on a normally cost $32 plate, sorry, but those only belong to your corner diner.
3rd course -Creme Brûlée, this was surprisingly good with some fresh berries! It was probably the best of the night.
The restaurant was about half full throughout our dinner time, but for some reason, service was quite slow. Overall, I was in a Mediterranean restaurant, but my dishes seemed somewhat more american, and the taste was mediocre, i don't know if I would pay the regular price for the same thing again.
