Café Annie Description:
Walking through the glass doors into RDG + Bar Annie, you find a funky-plush bar bedecked with overstuffed sofas in neon shades. It's definitely not the old Café Annie, which closed after nearly three decades of serving Southwestern flavors. Instead, it's Annie's sleeker, more contemporary cousin. But make no mistake about it: executive chef Robert Del Grande's dishes are still delightful. The restaurant is composed of three rooms: the downstairs BLVD Lounge, the upstairs Bar Annie and the RDG Grill Room. Each has its own menu, although, going along with the relaxed atmosphere, you can order anything, anywhere. Annie fans will find many favorites still available, from the filet mignon crusted with ground coffee to the roasted red fish Veracruzana. And the popular black bean terrine has been deconstructed into a dip of black beans, chorizo, chilies and goat cheese. As for new dishes, we recommend the baked potato fritters with bacon, cheddar and chive dip, and a maple-cured Texas quail with wild mushroom chili. The extensive wine list is still here, although now you can order dozens of them by the glass as well as the bottle. We like the communal dessert menu, too, which includes glazed mini-cinni buns.
