| - So I've eaten here before for lunch and decided to stop by again to get what dish I always think back to... their amazing couscous.
I showed up around 11am this Saturday and luckily there was no line as this is a popular place around lunch. The staff looked like they were barely getting set-up for the day, so I took my time scanning the menu for what else I was going to eat that would accompany that amazing coucous I still recall.... turns out, they don't make it anymore. WHAT A BUMMER! I had been looking forward to it so much that when I didn't see it on their menu, I was secretly praying they called it something else besides couscous. Oh well, whaddya do?
So I got the raspberry, goat cheese w/ pecan salad; side of chicken breast (for protein), and a small container of roasted sweet potatoes.
My reviews:
Chicken breast: very good. Lightly flavored w herbs, and freshly cooked (it was not overcooked) and sliced for me to eat with my salad;
Salad: very tasty combinations. I loved that they were plentiful w/ the raspberries and the pecans.. the jicama was a nice muted contrast to the sweetness of the candied pecans and the tartness of the raspberries.. lettuce was fresh... and cheese was very plentiful. Kudos to them for being generous with good ingredients.
Roasted SweetPot salad: one word: addicting. It is a perfectly balanced mix of chili oil (I think), scallions, roasted and gently sweet sweet potatoes, and dried cranberries that together make up a very flavorful and intriguing mix that is very exciting to the palate.
Note that this sweetpot dish reminded me a lot of Liberty Market's sweetpot dish... though I liked this one more.. can't figure out what ingredient differs, but this one was at the addiction-level and it wasn't the sugar.
I wish they still had that amazing couscous, though..
