The reviews here sound so good so I expect nothing less. It met my expectations but I saw some items in the pics here on Yelp that aren't on the menu anymore (kind of a bummer). Here are my dishes:
Sauted mushroom.... My fav of the meal.... cooking was done in super high heat to yield a nice seared exterior on each piece of mushroom. Very hard to do at home and they did it well.
Scallop - Not crazy about the complements (cheesy grits and a cooked Endive that tasted blah). The scallop was fine.
Arugula Salad - didn't taste too special but hey, it's a salad. Thumbs up for lots of pecans and chucks of goat cheese and a big bed of leaves.
Lamb Cheek tagine - this was a new item on the menu and I'm not too crazy about it. tasted like a tomato based stew without a lot of lamb flavor. the meat is shredded and portion size pretty small given it's mounted on a bed of coucous inside a mini-tagine.
House Bread - bread was cold. Hate restaurants that don't bother to warm up the bread. It comes with balsmic in olive oil.
Service - you have to flag down the staff to order more stuff but it was the right level of service without being too intrusive. water was refilled several times without prompt... thumbs up.
Got there on a Tue night around 6:30 pm and the place was almost packed. Wow, such a busy place. People tend to sit for a long time at their tables so get there early or late if you don't want to wait.
