We stumbled upon this kosher bistro and although we had some initial hesitation (none of us are strictly kosher) we ended up having a very good experience.\n\nThe d\u00E9cor is very upscale, each table lined with a double tablecloth. The carpet covering the entire dining space is a great buffer allowing conversation not to resonate through the restaurant.\n\nThe menu is varied with many pizza, pasta and fish options. Obviously, the restaurant being kosher-dairy meant there was no meat on the menu. We covered our bases with one person ordering a pizza, one a pasta, and one a fish. Prior to the meal, they offered two different varieties of homemade bread (white and whole grain) accompanied by three different spreads (butter, oil and vinegar, and garlic hummus). The bread was very fresh and soft.\n\nOur mains were incredibly tasty. The pizza was thin-crust, covered with mounds of cheese and chopped up fresh vegetables. I had no problem finishing it up in one sitting (but big enough that I probably should have taken about half of it home). The individual who had the pasta, enjoyed it but did feel she was missing a vegetable component to her meal. The other person who had a fish, thought it was perfectly cooked and the accompanying vegetables/potatoes were not overcooked and had a crispness to them.\n\nServers were prompt and for a mid-week evening, the restaurant was almost full. The lost star was related to the prices. All members of our party felt that everything was about $5 overpriced. Some of this extra expense is related to the cost required to make the food meet kosher requirements but it was still high. None of us found the price would deter us from returning (and a few of remarked that it's the Jew in us that had us 'kvetching' about the price).\n\nAll in all, you don't need to be Jewish to eat here, the clientele are varied in their cultural affiliation; however, you do need to recognize that this restaurant follows strict kosher requirements. \n\nAll 3 of us decided we would definitely return in the future and walked out happy we took a chance on this place."^^ .
