This is one of the few places in memory that one eats slowly at so that one can enjoy every bite. Interesting pairing of flavors and textures with a very decent presentation of carefully prepaired food. The ownership and staff are competent, friendly and enhance the experience. It is BYOB which to me means that I can aford to bring a much better bottle of wine that I would pay inflated restaurant prices for. On their web site they post the menue which means that one can figure out which wine to bring with an understanding of what one will order. What was also amazing was the inexpensive bill. For three people who each had three courses of really nice food/atmosphere/service the bill was $103. I almost did not post this because I would hate for it to become as popular as I think it deserves. It would make it hard to get a reservation, but it was so good that here it is.

Glad the place is holding up. Could you spare a few words about the actual food? The menu changes weekly, I think. I'd love to know what they're doing as summer comes in. :-) Mon Jun 21 10:44:49 -0700 2004 634205 0 mrbarolo 2 634256 Their menue is on the web at www.tweet.com. WHat the menue doesn't convey is the chef's ability to match different flavors in interesting ways. Sort of like a simple CHarlie Trotter at a tiny fraction of the price and way more informal and comfortable. Really enjoyed the flavors and the attention to detail. The presentations were starting to deal with verticle height which is an interesting thing to see. So many restaurants just have a bunch of line cooks doing simple things poorly that it is so refreshing to go somewhere where someone with talent is actually working on making a excellant product. I figured it was getting harder to get a reservation and in this case welcome the crowd as long as it makes them want to stay at it.
