April 28th 2011: Dinner at Nook

We bought dinner from Nook, a neighborhood bistro serving contemporary food. Sorry I forgot to take a picture of the restaurant. I remember it was in the corner of a small strip mall. Also, I didn't take a picture of the interior--it didn't seem appropriate because I wasn't dining there. Regardless, I can report that it had stylish, modern decor, and was a busy place.

Calamari, nicely spiced with lemon. Decent. I preferred it straight, not with the wasabi dipping sauce or the citrus soy dipping sauce.
Burger, served on light bread. (No it's not focaccia despite how it looks.) The burger was cooked well. The flavor of the meat and cheese (gruyere) shined through and melded really well together. Also, the accompanying fries were good. The pickle was well pickled. Oy, between the fries and the calamari, this was more fried food than I've had in a while.
Chickpea and squash stew. A bit sweet, probably due to the natural sweetness of some of the vegetables. It inspired Di Yin to say that she should cook things with chickpeas. It was served with couscous and a yogurt sauce.
