Asian /
Mediterranean

(From April 2009) Robert Gadsby’s new, Mediterranean/Asian enterprise (following his fling with Orient-oriented dining at Soma) rates high on the imagination scale. Witness a so-called wild mushroom risotto—made with Texmati rice—with wafer-thin slices of grape and a Thai red curry sauce. Or the lamb osso buco, a huge chunk of quite tender meat, with caramelized “melting” onions, braised fennel, and a pomegranate seed garnish. Or a butternut squash “cappuccino” soup topped with a little salad of celery, apple, and granola. If you’re sensitive to noise, ask for a table away from the bar crowd. The artful, contemporary space, with tall plate-glass windows, is quite “live.” The “chef’s table,” the bar in front of the open kitchen, is much less intimidating than most such venues. Bar.

Asian

 

(From November 2009) Jadeite has changed owners and name but remains in the family and retains its flamboyant Asian-Vegas decor, including that glistening red-ball sculpture in the middle of the room. From the familiar menu we sampled a fine version of the classic hot-and-sour soup and a too-bland vegetable-pumpkin bisque, but we most enjoyed our seafood (tilapia, scallops, shrimp, crab) in a not-so-spicy coconut sauce, along with brown rice. New additions include a sushi bar and teriyaki dishes. Bar.

Asian

 

(From August 2008) The sunroom, with its clean lines and rattan furniture, is a good place to peruse a menu that spans Thai, Vietnamese, and Chinese. Right now our favorite dishes include a tuna sashimi and avocado salad, lamb satay, and the Tori Crunch maki, a tempura-crusted roll of grilled chicken and avocado. The traditional red beef curry was light on curry and heavy on large chunks of spicy beef. Beer, wine, & sake.
