The pumpkin seed and walnut chorizo is also excellent if you like-a the spiiice. The pizza is pretty good, as are the marinara ravioli, and I recently had a special entree with a Korean twist that was incredible. Honestly I have not tried any of the cooked dishes because I'm too infatuated with the raw menu. This is a winner for upscale food, and the place is very pretty. It is BYO wine only and they don't have proper stemware, which bugs, so we don't bring anything awesome (and I don't want to be that freak who brings her own wine glasses). It's also mighty small so I doubt it would be do-able for a party larger than four. Service is all over the map - good one time, inattentive the next, then good again. The servers know the menu well, though, and you can tell they are jazzed about the food they serve. They don't say things like "this dish is very popular..." like you hear in a lot of places.
