Sardi's it's not, but the 101 has that certain buzz that only comes from restaurants popular with the artistic and literary set. Close to the Abbey and Gate theaters, so there's no danger of missing a curtain call, this comfortable upstairs restaurant showcases an ever-changing exhibition of local artists' work. The creative contemporary food -- with Mediterranean and Middle Eastern influences -- uses fresh local ingredients. Try the roast pork fillet marinated in orange, ginger, and soy, served with fried noodles. The cashew and red-pepper rissole (turnover) with chili and ginger jam, served with wild and basmati rice, also impresses. Healthful options and several vegetarian choices make this a highly versatile restaurant.
