    We loved this place! Food, crowd, service and atmosphere. (E.g., The ceiling is lightly covered with tree branches populated with flowers and you could run a scavenger hunt in the place just searching out the cool details.) Before you go, take the time to check out their menu, a wonderful collection of disparate choices. We loved the place and it was a great place to eat (and have a drink) before going to the theatre at the Huntington Calderwood (same block.) If you're novel-food-timid, get help from the wait staff to pick out seductive dishes that will encourage you to be less timid in the future. And the drinks menu? Daring! Fun and worthy sharing with your dinner partner(s) who are 21 or over.
