Seison Restaurant on Old Town Oakland?
I went there recently for happy hour and, yes, the place was nearly empty but the food I had was great! Interesting, well seasoned, well presented. I think the chef is of Persian descent. Happy hour apps are 50% off. It's a pretty space, too. I'm not really sure why it's empty. Other than the fact that people generally don't give empty restaurants a try.
Sour apricots?
I also bought some of these sour green apricots at Berkeley Bowl, brought them home, tasted them and had absolutely no idea what to do with them.
I was at Nibblers Eatery in Pleasant Hill yesterday talking with the chef/owner and he said that they are actually a staple in some middle eastern countries. He said they are meant to be eaten cooked in dishes such as tagine.
I actually took mine (before I learned this) and put them in alcohol to try and make a liqueur. I anticipate that it will fail miserably but you never know!
