I don't think I have too many "go-to" restaurants when I want to dine out on, but when it comes to taking friends from out of town to dinner or just a quality meal, FEZ is always top of mind.
It's probably taken me longer than it should have to give them their due diligence here. I cannot remember how many excellent meals I've had there, and for as many times as I have been there, I really haven't explored that much of the menu.
Their sweet potato & spicy fries are the best around. Hands down. Beyond that, try their veggie burger. I'm fairly certain it's home-made and not a frozen Boca or Garden Burger. The kisra's, think a Mediterranean flatbread pizza, are incredible. I always have leftovers too since I can crush an entire order of fries beforehand!
Food aside, service & the atmosphere are top-notch. Let's call it what it is, I am red-headed geek, but I feel hip here. I have always felt that the people here go out of their way to really give you a special time.
To end your night, try one their fantastic martinis. There are some interesting ones on the menu, including the pear one. Best part is, if you REALLY like the martinis, jump on the light rail to burn it off on your way home...
