Cafe Europa Description:
Picture a cozy, narrow café with exposed brick walls, fresh flowers, white table linens and colorful china. It could be a café in the heart of an old-world capital. Instead, it's Café Europa, as romantic and European as it gets in these parts. Owners Veronique and Michael Simko, from France and Czechoslovakia, respectively, add to the ambience. Veronique pleasantly and efficiently tends to customers throughout several intimate dining areas, while husband Michael runs the kitchen. Featuring continental Mediterranean fare, primarily from northern Italy and southern France, the menu includes impressive treatments of veal, chicken, duck, lamb and seafood. Preparations are not overly complex, but ingredients are always fresh, combinations appropriate, presentations appealing and sauces notable. We recommend the plump, salty clams in a white wine and tomato sauce, flamed with brandy, and a polenta cake with mushrooms in a zingy Gorgonzola sauce. Rack of lamb, an occasional specialty, delivers a well-prepared rack lightly coated with homemade croutons and Dijon mustard sauce. Classical music and soft lights will invite lingering to split a rich crème brûlée or raspberry and white chocolate-filled bread pudding with someone you love.
