4 /5 Linda McLoon: Sometimes restaurants develop fame, and the food is fabulous and inventive. Then they open a second one, and a third one, and a fourth one. The food is good.
So, our meal. That beet salad is tasty. The hummus is yummy. But the spark, that sense of changing the recipes with the freshest ingredients, often disappears and is replaced with recipes- good ones - but predictable. So, dont get me wrong; the food is very good. It is just not great.
We had a lovely dinner and also had a lovely brunch. The Hampstead location is bright, with colorful childlike paintings on the wall. The service was great as well.
How important is surprise in dining to you? Sometimes you want the food you know. Sometimes you dont.
