a recommendation from lisa, colleague and founder of public eye: artists for animals. though greens offers much meat, this is a fine restaurant for mixed groups. the space is modern, with light lime walls and geometric table arrangements. my entree of the eponymous sauteed mustard greens was really delicious. the vegetables were fresh and the sauce was a delicate ginger/garlic broth. some variation would have been nice, but if you're not feeling terribly hungry for a range of textures and tastes, the quality is high. the sauteed sweet red pepper with black bean sauce was not as tasty. my parents also enjoyed their meals, though my dad was later heard describing the food as "bland". fair enough.
