5 /5 David Labens: Walking distance from my daughters first apartment, we eat here about monthly. Service is always good and the food is always perfect. She always gets floutas, and theirs are very good compared to many other restaurants. This time I went for the salmon and opted for the cilantro cream sauce. It comes with the salad and white rice, which makes an appetizingly colorful plate. Salad was lightly dressed, rice was fluffy, and the salmon was cooked to perfection - not dry or rare. I absolutely loved the cilantro cream sauce, it was excellent on the rice, too. Upon closer examination, I could see the bubbles rising rapidly to the surface - as if it had immediately been blended on high speed and poured into the serving cup. IDK how quickly the sauce starts to spoil that it would require blending in bubbles to be the final plating step, but half the cup of sauce was air, and that affected the still very creamy texture on the tongue. It would be lavish tongue texture without the bubbles (just strain it once).
I know Im nit picking about bubbles in the sauce. Everything else was perfection, and Im not cutting stars over something that was mostly esoteric in nature. And, I will return, and I will have the same dish again on another visit. Its a great restaurant with excellent food and good service!
Most of the time we visit, it is not so crowded. There were tables available, but most of the tables were full. The noise level was much higher than when its only half full. Still able to carry on a conversation, but required a bit more attention to the conversation (not a bad thing) than normal. Still a good dinner date destination.
