Hexagone
A friend chose this restaurant for her lunchtime birthday celebration. The only other people there were Father Joe Carroll (who I didn't expect to see in a fancy restaurant with white tablecloths), and David Casey Jr, the attorney picked to screen federal judges for President Obama (who I did). My shrimp with pasta, for $13, was fabulous! My friend got fish, after they were out of the first request, quiche lorraine. (I noticed she scraped the vegetables to the side of the plate.) There was lots of delicious bread, and a complimentary creme brulee to celebrate the birthday.— March 20, 2009 4:19 p.m.
Alchemy
Alchemy: I was excited to see a new restaurant open in South Park, in a classy old building near Ginseng Yoga, at 30th & Beech, because most South Park restaurants are further north (South Park Bar & Grill, Big Kitchen, Vagabond, El Camino). A friend and I headed over for dinner within the first few days of the opening. My dinner companion does not like the licorice taste of fennel, & asked that the fish not be served on the bed of fennel. The kitchen police patrol sent back a report that she had better order something different, then, because the fish tasted good with fennel! We decided to split three dishes, to sample: fish tacos (minuscule), a beet salad (too small for $8), and a burger our server raved about (but could not provide a steak knife to cut--we had to send it back to the kitchen for that). The food was unremarkable. There was no bread (unless paid). Total bill: $30. What a disappointment! I am hoping the customer service will improve, but won't be heading back for awhile to check on it.— March 9, 2009 2:59 p.m.
