Executive Chef Terry Dwyer has created a seasonal menu with options that appeal to conservative and adventurous diners. Whatever you and your date crave, there's an option to please: find meat, seafood, vegetarian, pork and even ostrich dishes, from mild to hot spice levels. Relax. Whatever you choose, the results will be perfectly executed.
On a recent Thursday we opted for dishes with a more Indian/Persian slant, but if we'd been in a different dining mood we could have positioned the meal differently.

The vegetarian okra and paneer koresh ($14) can be prepared as spicy as you like. Medium seemed just right to us:
The white curry veal ($15) is spectacular. Inspired by Indian flavors, the chef created this sublime dish that also features mushrooms, cipollini onion, Basmati rice and a potato crisp. It's a truly great dish that I most highly recommend:
The cheesecake selection ($6) changes daily. On this particular evening it was baklava flavored--and hit all the flavor notes spot-on:
