This week is Brooklyn's restaurant week. Cecil, Lucy, Tina, and I went to a very nice Mediterranean place. For only $20.06, we got to eat at an amazing restaurant that usually averages $49 per person. The ambiance was quaint and subtle. The service was excellent and attentive. And, the food was soooooo goooooood. It was fresh, complex, and innovative. The dishes were modern in approach, such as the chick pea fries or the interesting and delicious mango and basil sorbetti. It was all plated nicely too. Sorry kids, no pictures =(

Overall Kathy Rating: definitely recommended. very very satisfied.
