We had our pick of seats, from leather club chairs to a cushy banquette amid the romantic pastiche of flower and animal prints. But the lack of customers was eerie, especially for a Friday night. While the music and dancing on Thursdays and Saturdays radically alters Sago's ambiance, chef Latif Abtu Sebti's mostly Moroccan menu is satisfyingly constant. Gratis puffy homemade flatbread is a warm delight, alone or as a vehicle for lusty black olive dip. Airy, crisp pastry and lots of large shrimp, scallops and calamari are nicely balanced with a gentle curry sauce and a healthy mound of spinach.
Desserts change daily, but our favorite was an intense and creamy mango sorbet.
