For some stupid reason, couldn't find their menu. Anyone have a link?

Also, anything specific that we can't pass up?

thanks

See you there. I dont think they have a menu visible as it changes quite regularly.

I haven't seen the July menu yet. Will you take a picture of it while you're there?

VOR - enjoy. Love the place. If you and BO are there at the same time, you will see each other. Invariably within 10 feet of each other.

BO- just grabbed a few tacos at taqueria DF you tout. They were excellent and $6 for 4. The barbacoa was as good as any taco I've ever had. Thanks for the tip.

DF and Guerrero are all I need. Well that Ideal.

Excited to try Kin. Its a bike ride away should the energy crisis finally arrive and picked up some nice rose from Keife & Co.

Sounds like a great night (except for VOR appearance).

Better grab two bottles.

I looked it over when I had lunch there last week....can't recall any specific items, but remember thinking that it would be hard to choose just a couple of items.

Un-fricking-believable. I did the same thing an hour or so ago. What did you get?

Ameztoi and La Spinetta, the two best non French roses on the market, imho

I ended up with the Chateau Pradeaux Bandol. I'm a sucker for Provence and they only had a couple of bottles remaining.

Think someone in your party had the same shirt on as my wife. The Keife bag gave you away.

So far so great

I'm not that big a fan of rose txakoli....the wine geek in me wants to like it but I feel a fad in those wines.

Every wine has its moment as a fad in the sun.

Kin was excellent. Ac could use some work but really a delightful place. Found the food to be really well seasoned. The duck heart and pancetta salad, pork belly and fried green tomatoes and duck with corn crepes stood out for first course. Cornish hen was a little overcooked in areas but the brown rice it is served with was fantastic. Pork chop was thick, crusty, and well brined and the shrimp risotto was citrusy with a nice heat.

They are really cooking something special. Id get over there before they move to a bigger space (which I suspect will need to happen eventually).

We were there around 7. Greens and artichoke salad was tasty. I went with the hen and brown rice, and enjoyed it a lot. My wife had the shrimp and risotto, as did the other couple.

Nice place with great food, but that damned sun coming through the front door window was pretty intense where we were at the corner of the counter.

The staff is friendly and accommodating. I'll be back for sure.

Of all the gin joints...

The artichoke salad was very good. There was nothing we had that wasnt good. Loved the way none of the dishes felt entirely Asian or New Orleans or Italian. Perfect blend of techniques and flavors to create something unique.
