"Foreign Cinema is often touted just for its scene – a lively bar, the outdoor seating under the light of a foreign film, and a giant dining hall bustling with tables small and large.

Great concept, though! The food was mostly equally interesting and good, uniformally good, wth impeccable service. I went there for a birthday dinner, and they added a nice touch by serving dessert with a candle on it. Nice! For first courses, we shared the red and yellow watermelon salad with a very creamy and soft goat cheese, which I liked very much. Nice chunks for coarse salt cause little flavor bursts! We also had the beef carpaccio with arugula, horseradish cream and shaved parmesan. The beef was...
