Avo House has a delightful selection of sushi and other Japanese treats. The fish is fresh, and the rolls are creative. The Bento box lunch combination is a great deal, combining your choice of main (mine was sashimi plus a dynamite roll) with soup, salad, and side dish of your choice, which can even include tempura! I love that hot green tea is served as soon as you sit down. Service is friendly.
Hawksworth restaurant is an upscale dining experience that offers creative cuisine with an emphasis on fish. There is a nightly tasting menu, but we opted for à la cart selections in order to try more items.
We started with the chips and dip and the bread service, both were good choices to get warmed up for our starters.
All of the starters were excellent. We had asparagus soup, steelhead tartare served on endive, and Burrata cheese.
Our entrées included Lamb, Seabass, and Hamachi (which was served raw, but with a broth poured over it). We all liked the entrées, but I don’t think they were as good as the starters.
Service throughout was friendly and professional.
There is an extensive wine list from a broad range of countries, but with no depth of vintage.
Banana Leaf offers a nice variety of traditional Malaysian foods, well prepared. The seven course lunch is a great way to experience a broad range of flavors. Our favorites were the very refreshing salad, the curry sauce, and the vegetables. I thought the roti could’ve had a little bit more sear on it. Try their lemongrass and ginger iced tea.
This cozy tapas bar offers an assortment of small plates that are interesting twists on traditional tapas. We particularly enjoyed the Spanish tortilla, the sautéed mushrooms on toast, and the cheese assortment. Be sure to try the churros, which are almost more like beignets, offered with two different dipping sauces. There’s a nice selection of appropriate wines by the glass. Reservations are needed on Friday and Saturday nights, even to sit at the bar.
Great Banh Mi but also an extensive menu of other dishes. The chicken curry was a real stand out–layers of complex flavors and a nice kick.
The combo of a Banh mi, spring roll, and boba drink is a great deal.
Broad assortment of Indian favorites, well prepared. The vegetarian korma was particularly good. The tandoori mixed grill is a great assortment, with especially delicious fish. Limited beer and wine list.

Good variety of traditional Korean food including all the side dishes. The lunch deals are a nice assortment at a reasonable price.
I was a bit disappointed in the Dolsot Bibimbap because the rice never crisped up, but the ingredients were good.
