Let me start with the service. Khalen. Absolutely amazing. Engaging, attentive, personable. Our party was of 18, he became a friend and a welcome addition to our conversation. An absolute joy and pleasure to have spent time with this man in every way shape and form. He alone, would be worth coming back the restaurant just for the interaction. I can't say enough good things. The menu is fresh, vibrant... it's well thought out by individuals that truly have a passion for what they do. To take classics like a aranchini, or a simple caesar salad and do them so well they stand alone as a show piece is a statement unto itself... but the real volume and depth come in the simpler things that might be taken for granted. Fresh made pizza dough, wood fired to perfection. An infusion of oils found into drizzles that add depth and complexity through subtlety. The little details done so right, they could be forgotten through the tapestry of such a cohesive and brilliant plating. On a scale of 1 to 10, I'd happily give the Curious Cafe an 11, and will definitely be back, if for nothing more than a slice of amazing pizza and Khalens company.
