The food at the Red Currant is a sumptuous mix of middle eastern and contemporary California cuisine. It is part art and part nurishment and the blend is very satisfying. A very special dining experience, in a lovely setting, with a very gracious staff. It felt a little like going on a mini exotic retreat to go there. Enjoy it!

We took our whole family there for a Saturday brunch, and it was great for everyone. The salads were so fresh and bountiful, and the breads are to die for! They have a great selection of fresh juices. And Nir Perry is such a delight! As the owner, he loves to "shmooze" with all the guests, and you feel very much at home. So glad they took over the space!

I had lunch there last week. I agree, the bread, warm from the oven, is wonderful. The pot du creme was tiny, but delicious.
That said, I didn't think the rest of the food lived up to the high prices.
The dining room was understaffed, even though it was only about 60% full. The waitress apologized and said she was the only one working, and then disappeared for long stretches of time.
I think there are kinks that still need to be worked out, but it's nice to see some signs of life at Allied Arts again.
