French Onion Soup | caramelized onion, herb crostinis and apple, baked with an Emmenthal and Asiago cheese crust | 7

Fresh Ahi Tuna Tataki Salad with Citrus Vinaigrette | orange, grapefruit, mango, ahi tuna, mixed greens, spinach and roasted almonds | 17
The ahi tuna was seasoned to be on the salty side, not to my liking. However, the quality and freshness of this ahi tuna was very tender and the flesh melted in my mouth. The mixed greens were fresh and not bruised. The chunks of oranges were, of course, right out of the can. At least, I think it was right out of the can, judging by its quality and syrupy taste.


Steak Sandwich | 6 oz top sirloin on fresh house made garlic toast with caramelized onion aioli, served with roma tomato slices, grilled onions and Grana Padano Parmesan shards | 15


White Chocolate Raspberry Creme Brulee | white chocolate, raspberries, orange walnut biscotti, caramelized sugar | 8
The decor and atmosphere this restaurant provides is definitely one of my favorite eat out spots so far in 2010. I love the furry chair (stroke the furry wall...Green movie fans). This place has recently opened in June 2010, and the staff were all well-trained and ready to serve you. I definitely will come back and visit another time.
