THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED Xacutti Restaurant Review:

This ultra hip room with low lights, high painted tin ceiling and a long communal bar-eating table on one side of the narrow space can get noisy when the crowds pack in on weekends, so be prepared to shout. Canadian-born chef Brad Moore executes what he calls “new Indian” cooking with panache. You can make a meal of the “small” plates and be totally satisfied. Cinnamon-guava pork ribs are savory and filling. All at the table will want to grab some of the addictive, sweet yam fries with soy-chili sambola. Indo-Thai prawns in lime-mint coconut curry spice up the palate. A favorite among the mains is grilled rock lobster tails glazed with Champagne butter. The brunch menu turns to comfort food with pancakes, flapjacks, waffles and egg dishes of all sorts. In summer, the best seats in the house are found in the tiny interior, open-air courtyard. A wine flight of three two-ounce themed selections is a good way to enjoy the interesting but short wine list.
