What was once a kitschy cafe is now a svelte restaurant geared toward upscale rather than low-brow dining. Chef/owner Omar Rodriguez has punctuated the menu with Italian-based dishes and American and eclectic touches. The Think Salad includes lettuce, walnuts, bleu cheese, pears and balsamic vinaigrette. The appetizers, mostly seafood-oriented, include sauteed smoked salmon with capers and black caviar, Prince Edward Island mussels, and white asparagus with lemon juice, purple onions, blue cheese and fresh tomatoes. House entrees range from risotto with mushrooms, duck breast and red wine to roasted pork loin with horseradish mashed potatoes and green asparagus. Desserts, such as the espresso flan, are inventive and rich. A great date spot with candlelit tables and personal service.
