Typical fast-food Chinese isn’t what is served at this bantam white-tablecloth restaurant. No, this place, as its name spells out, offers diners Shanghai-style cuisine. Among the specialties are the preserved duck, jellyfish with radishes and yellowfish soup. And the staff will guide first-time customers in the proper way to eat Xiao Long Bao (soup dumplings). […]

If the name didn’t clue you in to this bar and grill’s all-things-British theme, you’ll figure out the second you open the door and see the full-size red telephone booth and the walls, which are bedecked with rugby and cricket memorabilia mixed in with the typical pub design. Because Sherlock’s boasts far more easily re-arranged […]

Shinsei has been providing pan-Asian flavors to the Lovers Lane set for over a decade, under the ownership of Lynae Fearing, former wife of Dean Fearing, and Tracy Rathbun, who is married to star local chef Kent Rathbun. Executive chef Carlos Capistran oversees a sushi-centric menu with the help of sushi chef Shuji Sugawara. But […]
The six-page menu here contains much more than what meets the nose. Starters like deep-fried onion and paneer pakoras are fried to an airy crunch. We began with the appetizers of simple potato-filled samosa pastries complemented by more modern renditions of Indian food, like naan strips with spicy hummus dip. Plates full of fried snacks, […]

The subterranean location is easy to miss if you’re not looking for it (psst: it’s underneath the Goody Goody), but seek it out and you will be rewarded. A […]
Don’t be deterred by the extensive menu. Owner Ildefonso Jimenez has trained his people well. Simple tapas such as roasted almonds or pan-fried blood sausage are things you can’t stop eating. More extensive small plates like cod croquettes are memorable. Classic gambas al ajillo (shrimp with garlic) is rich and pungent. The tapas remind you […]
This might just be the best Sichuan restaurant in the area, one that can dial up the numbing spice or showcase a more subtle side. After polishing off some superb spicy wontons, look for the dishes with Sichuan peppercorns, especially if they involve seafood, like the spicy fish. If you don’t want peppercorns setting your […]
While some bars are cozy and chill, Sidecar Social is anything but. It’s almost preposterously large, sprawling almost 20,000 square feet. The main bar is flanked on three sides by 18-foot televisions to catch the game. And instead of sitting around, Sidecar Social encourages friendly competition, with traditional bar games such as pingpong, darts and […]

Before ordering, each table is gets an order of papadam, a wafer-thin black gram bean flour baked until cracker dry. It’s served with savory green chutney and another, a sweet tamarind.
