| Baang Café & Bar is a lively, hip restaurant where French accents---gratins and so forth---dot the Asian menu. We prefer to tackle dishes family-style, sharing good starters like the Szechuan lobster crêpes and firecracker spring rolls with peanut chicken and honey mustard. The tuna pizzetta, an inventive take on the traditional pizza with tuna, avocado, tomato and spicy mayonnaise, is another option. For a taste of classical Chinese, try the barbecued spare ribs in sesame honey sauce. Among our favorite entrées are the grilled beef in hot oil with cilantro, shallots and soy, and the comparably mild sautéed Chilean sea bass with black rice, stir-fried vegetables and sweet chili miso sauce. Afterwards, sink your spoon into the soothing sweetness of a ginger ice cream sandwich with poached apricots and caramel drizzle. The wine list, which leans toward California selections, includes Pinot Noirs, Chardonnays, Cabernets and Sauvignon Blancs. |
