When you do find your way into this Mediterranean oasis you will quickly add it to your list of favorite places to dine. You will be thrilled with appetizers such as fried shrimp with chorizo and aioli verde, venison carpaccio, and assorted Spanish cheeses baked in olivebreadcrumbs. Next, dive into the Damascus duck—half a bird dressed in a plum glaze with plum-goat cheese-ricotta pastry and fall veggies. Or try the Egyptian bean pot, filled with lentils, favas and limas. Seafood lovers should definitely consider the salmon with lentils and mushroom kale ravioli. Desserts change each night and are especially rich.
