Had a decent meal last night at Jane (Houston St. - north side - and Thompson.) Very nice room. Entrees around $19, apps around $9. We had good fried clams (very good fry, maybe not enough clams,) O.K. crab cake, O.K. tomato and watermellon salad, and a great fennel and beet salad with some sort of sliced hard cheese. For entrees we had a good eggplant and truffle oil risotto, a nice sea bass with gnocchi, and two meat dishes that looked good (but I didn't taste.) Maybe that doesn't sound like a great review, but overall it felt very nice. Maybe it was the service which was excellent. That always helps. Nothing to absolutely die for, but no mistakes either.
On the wine side we drank a good 99 Lingenfelder Reiseling (Terry Theise selection) and the ever popular 98 "Les Terraces" Rioja ($43 - a little cheaper than I've seen it elsewhere.)
Good choice by itself, plus it's pretty handy if you can't get into Lupa (who can?) and don't want to walk very far for a decent alternative. It gets my vote.
sounds good whom owns it?? how big was the wine list?? whats the phone #??
The squid, charred on the grill, are surrounded by ruby radishes and sliced cucumbers in watercress vinaigrette. (sounds great)
Minted strawberries with champagne cream (GIVE THAT A TRIPLE YUMMY W/O EVEN TASTING)
August Briggs 1999 Napa Pinot Meunier is outstanding! Too bad you can't find it. . . .
