Description

Thai ceviche brings Key West shrimp marinated in pomelo juice perked with jícama, bird chili, and cilantro. Other raw starters mostly end with the letter o: tiradito, carpaccio, gazpacho. This is clean, calorically correct cuisine that is surely better for you than anything ordered in a steak house - but it's likewise the sort of fare that can be found on nearly every menu in town other than at a steak house. And, unbelievably, only one of 11 entrées is vegetarian: carrots, zucchini, and yellow squash cut into thin, wide strands and tossed with marinara sauce and toasted pine nuts. The good news: It's only 200 calories. The bad news: You might die of boredom. Still, diners are privy to fresh food, and some entrées are quite tasty - such as a lean, sumptuously soft grass-fed bison tenderloin sided by polenta with blue cheese and sautéed kale. The price is right too: Most appetizers run $8 to $13; entrées range from $18 (vegetable ribbons) to $25 (bison tenderloin). Booze is served, which might not be healthy for you, but it's definitely salubrious for profits.
