 Classic foreign films (think Fellini) and independent features are screened nightly for diners in an expansive, elegant courtyard---the films are projected onto a wall---while the warmth of a fireplace flickers nearby. It's a romantic backdrop for a night of flirtation or a welcome distraction from a date gone wrong. The kitchen's husband and wife team, who have been into the simple and seasonal since they were co-chefs at Zuni Café, create delightful Mediterranean inspired dishes. Start with grilled lamb skewers with hummus and avocado chutney or beef carpaccio with fried capers, horseradish sauce and straw potatoes. Indian culinary influences are reflected in main dishes such as the Madras curry-spiced chicken and bavette steak frites with an ajwain and cocoa nib dry rub. After dinner, try the cheese plate, or an apple and huckleberry crisp with rum raisin ice cream.
