Completely delightful: food, service, ambiance. My wife and I had delicious salads to start (pear / arugula with a lovely balance, and a Caesar with white anchovies and deeply-flavored dressing) and then proceeded to her gluten-free pasta with mushrooms, again delightfully flavored, and my "eggplant lasagna," which was actually lighter-than air eggplant slices, delicately fried and sauced, no pasta. We finished with no room for dessert but good tea and first-rate coffee.
Even better: a quietly solicitous staff, waitperson Salim, gracious, unobtrusive, and witty, also manager Mehdi, as kind as you could ever want.
The restaurant is long and narrow, creating an unusual feeling of intimacy, even when couples were chatting at the bar across from us. Pretty music (sixties pop with Nat Cole and others) at a level that made conversation easy.
This place is a real gem. They've only been open three months and it was quiet on a Thursday night. Better get here before the crowds pack the place! We will be back.
