Fri Sep 25 11:02:25 -0700 2009 184145 katbri 1 5082587 http://www.pangaearestaurant.com/Food_%26_Drink.html I LOVed Pangaea when I did it a few years ago for winterlicious, real nice fine dinning. I might have been more impessed due to the fact I made an off hand comment to the waitress about not being warned something was in my dish (I think carrots which I can not eat but have no problem eating around it) and she promply took my dish away and the chef made something new for me with out that ingredent.. and it was wnterlicious, cheap menu time so it really stood out to me that the place went the extra mile. and my friends LOVE the lamb Tue Oct 06 08:35:07 -0700 2009 5058149 267366 bsv 1 5082856 My vote is Mistura.The Wild Boar Agnolotti is to die for as is the Red Beet Risotto and Rabbit. The ambiance is quite nice too. Tue Oct 06 10:23:20 -0700 2009 5058149 1094491 mlz 2 5083921 Second the vote for Mistura (and I love that wild boar agnolotti too!!). I've always wanted to try Opus, but I've never had the opportunity. C5 strikes me as the other high-end option. Tue Oct 06 16:25:20 -0700 2009 5082856 60563 Rabbit 3 5088927 I would absolutely recommend Opus - great food, wine, service and atmosphere. Pangaea and Mistura are also good suggestions and agree aboutt he Beet Risotto at Mistura.

I had the tuna appetizer (tartare and carpaccio) and the caribou entree. Both were fantastic, and everyone else seemed impressed by theirs. I gather the wine cellar is a big draw for Opus as well, but I don't have a sophisticated palate where wine is concerned so can't comment. The service was excellent though. Definitelly a good place for a romantic special dinner.

I would have to try Spice Room again before recommending it. Another candidate is definitely Joso's. Best calamari and grilled fish in the city! Also very nice squid ink pasta. The decor alone is worth the visit. Tue Oct 06 19:20:56 -0700 2009 5058149 80671 Snarf 2 5088994 I'm not surprised that Flow closed. When I'd been there it was meh and overpriced.

They had the shortest wine list imaginable: 3 mediocre whites and 3 mediocre reds 3. The food was overly salted to an extraordinary degree 4, The service was glacial Sat Nov 07 19:06:43 -0800 2009 5084306 66803 prairie_dog
