Bevri, the new Georgian place, literally across the street, and we really liked it. The cheesy bread that’s part of their logo was very, very addictive. If you come for Nagi and the time doesn’t work, consider walking across the street.
Recent Restaurant Roulette “The Next” update. Last night we spun the wheel and up came La Boheme on California Ave, which we never went to because we’re partial to Cafe Brioche. La Boheme is more parisian than country food, and it was “fine” ( solid for what it was ) but not enough to write a note about one way or the other. Service was somewhat slow, the place was packed and the kitchen was working very hard but struggling - it’s just a small kitchen. The most exceptional thing is the wine list, which includes quite a few multi-thousand-dollar bottles, which I would expect from Joya but not from a place that’s a little run down with laminated menus and (at the bar) plastic tablecloths. It certainly won’t make high rotation, especially after the hot chocolate which was literally nesquick.
