Fodor's Review:

You cross the austere stone hall of the Artists' House to get here: but it's another world inside. The atmosphere envelops you at the door—flagstone floors, an open fire in winter, yesteryear artifacts, quirky wall decorations, a great bar. Start your exploration of modern Israeli fare with the sublime cream of vegetable roots soup or a carpaccio. Meat-eaters and piscatorians have plenty to choose from; vegetarians have a variety of large salads (share) and a couple of pasta dishes (try the ravioli). Wonderful mains are the richly flavored butcher's cut stew with chestnuts and red wine, and the well-blended spiciness of the calamari and shrimp in ginger, chili pepper, and sesame oil. The strawberry mascarpone (in season) is the house dessert of choice.
