Donald Bartkowiak
Housed in an elegant, refurbished brick home, this charming restaurant specializes in Mediterranean-inspired dishes with modern twists, such as the grilled lamb chops in a pomegranate reduction and the fusion of shiitake mushrooms, artichokes, capers, and red-onion relish smothering a roasted sea bass. Most of these artfully created dishes hover around $20 each, but even the tightest budgets can indulge in the exceptional appetizers, thanks to the half-price deal available at the comfortable, cozy bar from 3:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., Tuesdays through Fridays. Try the tender Moroccan crab cakes, rich with almonds and hazelnuts and spiced up with tomato-ginger jam and caper aioli; or the hearty Turkish kofte—savory lamb and beef meatballs served with white-bean salad, yogurt-mint sauce, and warm grilled pita wedges.
