Ristra Review

This unprepossessing restaurant, set in an old house on the edge of the trendy Railyard District, presents a first-rate menu of Southwestern-influenced modern French cooking. You might start with chorizo-stuffed calamari with watercress and smoked-tomato sauce; roasted rack of lamb with couscous, minted tomatoes, preserved lemon, and Niçoise olives is a tempting main dish. Top off your meal with an almond-butter cake served with warm spiced apples and a mascarpone-caramel sauce. The wines are well selected, and the service is generally good. There's a hip, stylish cocktail bar with its own menu of lighter dishes, including a great burger.

    This somewhat hard to find place is worth the effort! The service was excellent and the food was delicious! The Elk (yes, game is served here) was outstanding, cooked to perfection...my husband's salmon was wonderful too...the server was very accommodating to suggest a wine that paired with both entres...we would definitely revisit on our next trip!
