Frommer's Review

Hidden within a nondescript mall, which is itself buried in a nondescript northwest neighborhood, is one gem of a restaurant. This elegant eatery, with a central fountain and candlelit tables, features a series of weekly alternating menus highlighting French, Asian, American, and northern European dishes. Whichever part of the globe you visit, expect to be satisfied; when in doubt, you can't go wrong with the signature rack of lamb with blackberry peppercorn sauce. And, although I don't generally like buffets, the one served here (Tues-Fri 11:15am-1:45pm) is a gourmet treat as well as a bargain (it's just $12). This is not a place to watch your weight, however, as portions are huge, and rich sauces are a specialty. Desserts are particularly hard to resist; if you're lucky, a supremely chocolaty Sacher torte might be in your stars.
