Carpe Diem Description:
Tapas and appetizers of sufficient size to serve as small mains are the high points of this menu. We recommend the french fries with sour cream sauce, but think the flavors of the scallops wrapped in grape leaves with a ginger cilantro sauce are too complicated. Sandwiches and pasta dishes make up the value-driven part of the menu. The huge croque monsieur features shaved roast pork loin instead of the traditional ham. The niçoise salad is a classic arrangement of mixed greens topped with sashimi-grade tuna. Most entrées are grilled. Brunch has a raft of good dishes, our favorite being the salmon Benedict. The reasonably priced wine list is pretty adventurous for a bistro-type establishment, and most wines are offered by the glass. Reds are served at cellar temperature. Service, generally, still needs tightening up. The patio is one of the city's best for al fresco dining, and the seating area in the bar is good for friendly gatherings during the pre-dinner time frame.
