The Scene
Sea-green walls, funky art and close-together tables make this downtown restaurant cozy and fun. Executive types fill the cafe for lunch, but dinner draws a more varied crowd of couples heading to the theater and friends enjoying a relaxed night out.
The Food
Although the menu offers many delicious, intriguing meat entrees, the true treasures are the oft-overlooked appetizers and side dishes. Stuffed vegetable empanadas or chicken and tortilla soup are tasty preludes to hearty entrees. Build your own entree with a pan-seared corn cake, stuffed with roasted squash, lima beans and the always wonderful rice of the day. Save room for whatever chocolate dessert is offered and leave completely satisfied.
