Found a great mexican place doing street food. They have a garden out the back with an old caravan full of kids toys. There were quite a few couples sitting around baffled that they actually had a moment to converse with each other. We decided we're selling our house.

let me know how it is; we're going sunday night.
I really liked it. Went with a buddy from law school that was in from out of town. Had reservations at 6:00 p.m., and the place was already packed. The decor reminds me of a Restoration Hardware (I don't mean that in a bad way) -- everything was clean and streamlined, with some distressed wood. Even though there were a lot of people, it wasn't particularly noisy. All the pasta is handmade on site. There were 2 women making the pasta behind the bar; it was pretty cool because they had mirrors on the ceiling so you could watch what they were making. And the whole menu is all small plates. We had the Hamachi Crudo (really good), Arancini (probably the one miss of the night -- a little too salty), artichoke and sunchoke crostini (awesome), Arrabbiata (comes with whole shrimp -- by far the best dish of the night), pappardelle (really, really good), and a bottle of wine. All in all, I think the tab was $110, which wasn't horrible considering the wine.
I think you'll like it.
this was really great; i think my wife liked it even more than me. we ordered the octopus spiedini, ocean trout, cannelloni saltimbocca, and the cacio whey pepe. the cacio whey pepe was the only misfire; it was very good, just sort of bland by nature after the other dishes.
we'll be back for the ragu alla napoletana; it was just too much food for two and we wanted to try an assortment of dishes. it looks amazing:
- Spoiler: show
this finally happened sunday night. plenty of leftovers for monday dinner as well.
the shank was cooked perfectly, the meatballs and sauce were off the chain,and the sausage was good. the pasta was a little too al dente for my tastes, but softened a bit as leftovers.

If we lived near that Mexican place we'd be rather large in no time.

do the prime rib. you can grill your own cowboy cut ribeye anytime you want. prime rib is obviously more work.
