Their kitchen is out in the open behind a bar so you can watch your food being prepared and make special requests. They were accommodating of my modifications.

Items Ordered

Moroccan eggplant and lentil soup and Roast vegetable salad

Moroccan eggplant and lentil soup and Roast vegetable salad

The eggplant soup was really nice with the hot pepper vinegar. It gave it a slightly spicy taste. It had a good amount of lentils and vegetables in it, and was about half broth.

I asked for the salad without greens (which weren't listed on the menu), so it was more like a couscous and veggie platter. The parsley/lemon dressing gave it a light taste that was just enough to make it interesting.

Macaroni and cheese

macaroni and cheese

The macaroni and cheese was very thick, creamy, and heavy. Considering it was listed as having broccoli I was disappointing by the proportions. It was a huge portion of macaroni with only a few small pieces of broccoli. It was delicious, but way too heavy for one person to eat on their own.
