Description

This Vietnamese dining room is both contemporary and traditional. Dishes reflect the strong, uncomplicated flavors of the tropics, making sophisticated use of herbs such as lemongrass, coriander, and mint and fruits such as tamarinds, limes, and longan nuts. Summer rolls, shrimp and greens stuffed into rice paper, are refreshing starters, as is crisp eggplant wrapped in bean-thread noodles and plum sauce. Squid in spicy tamarind sauce and beef satay with shiitake mushrooms are palate-pleasing entrées. Enjoy homemade lemon mousse for dessert.
