"we were able to visit the special event with phil rosenthal, where the menu of recipes was inspired from his current book. the crowned green melt was the conversation of the city and probably our favorite piece. the pink pad thai was remarkable, so much taste, just enough heat, and probably ruined my friend because the first time he pad thai so now I can take him nowhere else. the quesadillas tasted better than homemade and I wanted more of them! the dessert was perfect! the brownie had the right amount of chocolate and the taste was spot on! the staff of caldo verde was very friendly, very appealing and quick to use. because it was a special event, I knew it would be a busy night and the personal was prepared so that everything went out on our table without a clinke! I love the ambiente in this restaurant. great for a date night."
