"Kitty Dare has a spacious, plant-filled patio that’s great for meeting up with friends and large groups. The menu features a mix of decent Mediterranean, American, and Italian dishes—from koobideh kabobs and burgers to pasta and grilled cheese. If all those options feel overwhelming, here’s a tip: start with the savory, cumin-spiced Tunisian eggplant dip loaded with tomatoes or the tangy cauliflower salad with red onions, golden raisins, and cherry vinaigrette. And the pear-and lime-flavored Hommas gin cocktail pairs nicely with patio breezes. Any decision after that will be a good one. photo credit: Sarah Newman photo credit: Sarah Newman photo credit: Sarah Newman photo credit: Sarah Newman Food Rundown photo credit: Sarah Newman Tunisi Eggplant The cumin-spiced Tunisian eggplant dip is earthy, and the tomatoes add a sweet-tangy kick. Get this. Hummus Bowl The creamy dip is packed with sweet roasted garlic and zingy preserved lemon, while the paprika and sumac give it a smoky tang. photo credit: Sarah Newman Hommas The gin and Aperol mix for an herbal, citrusy flavor, while the pear cordial adds some sweetness. You get a spicy chili tingle around the edges. Bucatini and Shrimp The thick, chewy bucatini noodles come tangled up with plump, juicy shrimp and lots of savory garlic. Cauliflower Salad The cauliflower salad is refreshing, with red onions, golden raisins, and cherry vinaigrette." - Jacinta Howard
