Frankenbudha, I think I only saw sashimi (x-post with Nora).
Ooh, at Clio/Uni? Maybe I can work out the answers to the above questions directly from the source! When were you there?
Yes, you should go. Her name is Mary; I wish I found out exactly which nights she worked. We were there Monday night (after Casa Romero, which I now need to re-visit in the summer months to sit on the porch!). The bar manager is Todd, and though he wasn't there, he sounded awesome too. I had a drink called an "Acedia" and when I commented on how great it was, she told me she designed (developed? I do not know this bar lingo!) it! You guys, it had some sort of chili pepper tincture in it, of course I'm gonna love it! The new restaurant is going to be in some old bank, prolly opens in August, is going to be progressive French. Go talk, tell her I sent you (we all exchanged names but she'll remember you as the person who wrote pages of reviews on Chowhound after your CA adventure).
Also, I got to try the Other Side cafe and adored it.
Steve is meeting me in London in March, so I hadn't scheduled another Boston trip but now I think I need to go back for another weekend...and hit the Eliot with all of youse.
