by john m. on Last night, I had the opportunity to go to Zahav for restaurant week with my fiancée and some friends. Upon immediate entry, I was impressed with the décor... it was very modern without feeling too cold. The main dining area was warm and inviting... very pleasant feeling. My fiancée and I were somewhat early so we decided to order a drink from the bar. I was impressed that we were able to order a drink immediately. While there were definitely people eating and drinking at the bar, we were still able to get our drinks without waiting. Now for the meal... when we sat down, our server, Ben, seemed pleasant. He told us about the Restaurant week menu and how the first course would be served immediately. Here's what we ordered off the menu(I'll review each meal next to each listing... this is where it gets really really mixed): FYI... We asked our server, Ben, if he could go over what each of the entrees were since none of us were overly familiar with the cuisine. He rubbed me the wrong way because I saw him rolling his eyes. I noticed that his smile was fake and insincere. I found him condescending when he was describing the food as if we were wasting him. I kept my mouth shut because no one seemed to have noticed. The rest of the serving staff was very nice though. First Course Salatim - Selection of four salads: very nice and refreshing... we were able to sample all of the different salads. Some we liked more than others, but everyone agreed, the dish was well made and was a good start Hummus-tehina - Served with house-baked laffa: some of the best hummus I've ever had. It was light, but full of flavor and went well with the accompanying bread. Second Course Crispy Haloumi - Cypriotic sheep's milk cheese, dates, pine nuts: total homerun... my fiancée and I could not get over how good this tasted. I have to say that I was impressed with the boldness of the flavors and how well everything went together. Watermelon Salad - Bulgarian feta, black olives, parsley: I enjoyed this, but my fiancée didn't. I found it invigorating actually... the contracts in texture and flavor really seemed to play with each other. House-smoked Sable - Challah, fried egg, green garlic: I had previously been told by a co-worker that this would be one of the best dishes I've ever had in my life... period. I thought it was great, but nothing overly special. The flavors were subtle and the fish was nicely cooked though. Third Course Fried Kibbe with Tahini - Lamb, Bulgur wheat, pine nuts: This was ok, nothing great... but enjoyable nonetheless The Galil - Eggplant, tomato couscous, asparagus, tehina: And here it is.... The worst dish of the night. We couldn't believe how salty it was... simply inedible. It had to be one of the WORST dishes I've ever had from a restaurant. Seriously... I'd rather have eaten a Sizzli from Wawa. I found it so inedible that I wanted to send it back, but we didn't see Ben until much later in the meal. As I understand it, restaurants soak food in brine to give the food a little more saltiness since the salt burns off when cooking. It seems like they didn't cook the food long enough to get the extra salt out. It's a shame because we were really looking forward to this dish. Side note, near the end of the meal, I asked Ben if the Galil was supposed to be as salty as it was, he said, "well, it had been soaked in brine... so maybe that was it." He asked if we wanted a replacement portion. I thanked him, but passed.. Without looking me in the eye, he said, "I apologize..." but before he was even done saying those two words, he had already turned away. You can tell that he was really sincere with his apology... nope. Fourth Course Cashew Baklava - White chocolate, date syrup: I didn't enjoy this much... I like Greek style more. It tasted like a dog treat. Almond Semifreddo - Chocolate crisp: pretty good... nothing great, but it was enjoyable. Overall, most of the food was very pleasing. There were dishes we had that were almost inedible and our waiter was a plain old "d-bag"(yes, I said it, but I can't think of any other words to describe him... I didn't even list all of the things he did to make me come to this conclusion. And, even one of the other people at the table mentioned it.). Having a rude waiter can definitely ruin a meal(as it nearly did for me....), but the night was successful. Even with some of the off notes in some of the food, a great waiter can negate that... changing the night from successful to memorable. I'd give the food, an overall 7 out of 10... and I'd give Ben a negative -5 out of 10. It's waiters like Ben that make people not go back to restaurants. END SCENE
by Margaret Alhameed on Great wine, great music, and the chance to oogle at an Albino Alligator?! Being a science nerd at the core, my heart jumped at the chance to merge all of these things into one lasting experience. My sister thought it'd be a great idea for me to accompany her on a recent trip to SF and she was so right. It had something for everyone. I attended the night when they were holding a local fashion show for those that happenend to be fashion forward that night. It resulted in my sister and I having our picture in a local magazine :) But more so, fun that I could only wish other socal residents would try to re-create to add a twist to the mundane night life that we have here.
by Jacquetta Weslowski on Besides the fact that I was completely obliterated from taking one too many shots out of the necklace shot glasses I had provided for everyone on my German Party Bus, I'd have to stay this place is totally stellar! I wouldn't even be able to tell you about its exact location because I totally thought I was in the middle of dodge but I can tell you that the staff was very friendly and the tequila shots/drinks were very cheap. :) There were about twenty five of us that bombarded this live music, salsa club and I'm pretty sure everyone had a good time shaking their ass even though the majority didn't know how to salsa. I mean, where else would you find 4' 5" Mexican men who get boners just from dancing with you???! lololol GOOD TIMES!
