Nooks and Crannies
Just barely in the corner of a nondescript mini-mall in a nondescript stretch of westside road is a tiny restaurant. Once you park in the parking lot, you may still not be able to find it. And once inside, you may have to wait for a seat, so come early. Well seasoned meats are complimented by fresh soups (we had the carrot ginger and the lentil) and well made sides -- though the spinach served with a chicken breast was stringy and lacked flavor and the steamed peanuts served instead of bread were mushy and disappointing. (Bread! We like it!) -- the meal was complimented by a lovely Spanish white wine, and Coppola Sophia Blanc de Blancs (in a can! And not terrible!)
A little modern looking and expensive for its "bistro" moniker, Nook definitely warrants a return trip, though whether it'll become a permanant fixture in our eating out remains to be seen.
