Azure

They've got an open mic on Sunday nights, so check it out next time you go to the Ortleib's jam session. It's right around the corner.

Azure has a unique menu, very veggie friendly and great specials. During happy hour (5-7, M-F) drinks and appetizers are half price, my roommates and I try to take advantage of this place often. They also have Month-long specials, for example, during January Dinner for two plus a bottle of wine or a pitcher of beer is only 30 bucks.

I had a great meal here years ago - memorably so - but my latest visit was a bit of a disappointment.

It was only appetizers and I wasn't all that hungry, so I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and try again, but this time everything was rather bland and uninteresting.

Not a holy grail - but worth a try.
