Klaus Exploring restaurants is fun but finding restaurants that serve complete entrees, dinners or desserts that are fat-free and low in salt and sugar is very cumbersome and often disappointing. |

Dinner, Entree:
Vegetable Mezze Plate, $18. Side: Grilled Portobello, $6. From the Menu: Snow peas, escarole &
cannellini beans, baby carrots, sautéed kale, purple yam purée, spiced quinoa
pilaf and tahini spirulina. (Spirulina is a fresh water algae that provides all essential
amino acids, many other nutrients and contains 60% protein. Complemented with
my own Wasa crisp bread.) |

The veggie
plate was a bit disappointing although its featured quinoa pilaf and the
escarole/bean components stood out in taste and presentation. Unfortunately I
could not use the tahini spirulina sauce for
flavoring the bland carrots, snow peas or kale because of the sesame seed
fat, The yam puree was less exciting than its looks. The wine as well as my
side order of Portobello mushrooms saved the evening since they were full of flavors.
