Here are capsule reviews of restaurants that have been visited recently by restaurant critic Jane Snow. The interior of the restaurant is jazzy and fun, but for the price, we expect more than a bowlful of lettuce and toppings that taste pre-fab. Skip the commercial-tasting soups and desserts. The kitchen will never break new ground at this cushy, upscale eatery, but the food is well-prepared and stylishly served.
Service is top-notch and the food is consistently good, with most entree prices in the teens.
In the winter, try to snag a seat by the fireplace. Both the atmosphere and the food are a cut above most Asian restaurants, making it not only a good bet for locals, but worth a trip across town. Meals come with warm corn bread and big, crisp salads. Beer is brewed on the premises, but the few we tried lacked balance and body. This is the place for big, inexpensive margaritas and big, inexpensive portions of Mexican eats.
