It’s hard to walk by and avoid falling in love with this thoroughly charming Mediterranean favorite and its keen (if wandering) eye on Sephardic cuisine. Rebooted in a quaint new space, the open kitchen takes center stage in this bright and airy space.Golden brown crispy green olives are deliciously salty and rich, setting the meal off on the right path. Then, ceviche in a strawberry gazpacho broth is equal parts sweet and savory. Yellow cardamom pappardelle tossed with spring peas and curls of shaved feta is a fragrant, surprisingly light dish thanks to the green labne, but oh, those chocolate fingers. Imagine an upmarket Kit Kat with cornflake-crusted bottoms topped with Turkish coffee-laced ganache and you'll get the drift of this decadent dessert.
