Description:
When it opened in 1999, this sleek and chic restaurant struck an immediate chord. In 2006, the restaurant took a different tack, moving away from traditional three-course meals to concentrate on small, shared plates (with some available as entree-sized portions). The cuisine is as modern as the decor, taking a global approach with dishes like a Moroccan-spiced chicken kebab and Kung Pao-style sweetbreads, while still making room for unique comfort food like the crab mac 'n' cheese. The always-evolving wine list offers many intriguing selections by "cork" or "stem" from around the world. One lament: The cement floors and other hard surfaces amplify the noise level.
