I like restaurants like Logan, http://www.logan-restaurant.com/. Interesting food, casual yet upscale atmosphere, non-pretentious. It's got a nice friendly and welcoming vibe, and our hostess was very welcoming and got us drinks while we waited for our table - nice start.
Now for the food - the menu is very fun. Lots of unusual preparations, and combination of ingredients. Anyone who is interested in food will enjoy this menu. I selected the Crab + avocado, and the Lobster roll for our table's appetizers. The lobster rolls were nice, cut into 6 individual pieces, with crispy outer hull, and a nice blend of crunchy cabbage and tasty lobster. But, this nice appetizer was it was overshadowed by the brilliantly flavored Crab + Avocado parfait. Simply wonderful.
Our entrees were equally delicious. Nice thing about Logan is that they offer 1/2 portions of the pasta dishes. This is a great idea, because it allows one to enjoy more appetizers and not be stuck with leftover pasta to take home [which is never quite as good the next day]. My wife got the Gnocchi Bottarga, which was perfectly cooked and has a nice creamy flavor to it - great for a vegetarian, and very satisfying for even a carnivore like myself. I selected the Moroccan hen. I love little birds and this one's complex flavors were a delight. The skin was nice and crispy, yet the meat was still juicy and tender. I eventually put down my fork and went to fingers to finish off the bird - it was that good, nothing left but bones when I was done!
I really like Logan - it's a fun restaurant, and it's very reasonably priced for the quality of the ingredients and how they are prepared - top notch food. This restaurant will no doubt be compared to Grange [another superb restaurant], but Logan is less of a 'formal' experience than Grange tends to be. It's nice that A2 has a few of these types of restaurants that the foodie in all of us can enjoy - you'll definitely enjoy Logan. Top notch!
