Sun May 28 14:32:13 -0700 2006 0 foodie 1 457638 Any parameters? Type of food? Price? If you are in the mood for a casual, upscale bistro (oxymoron?), then try Bistro Verdu in Montrose.

I haven't been there in over a year, but I guess it's time to go back...American classics carefully done, fair prices, full bar.

Ka-San for Korean. Star Cafe for quasi-Italian pasta type stuff. Joseph's Cuisine for kabobs. Olive Branch for Persian. Black Cow for coffee and dessert.

Creamy w/o being too creamy and lots of lobster taste. Unlike another some restaurant that uses potatoes to thicken the soup.
