Everything is done family style

With a menu of Earth, Land, Sea, Heaven and Hell Colors is truly a great find for dinner.

For a starter drink, I had ordered the Chocolate silk. It had a light cocoa smell, a good amount of vodka, roasted coffee, dark chocolate shavings. $10. The vodka taste of the drink will clearly knock your socks off! It delivered a powerful punch, that indulges your taste buds with a strong coffee flavor along with a strong vodka taste. This drink holds true to its name of being the Chocolate silk.

Next was the Calamari Fritto, which is parmesean, pickled tomato,lemon aioli. $10. Very freshly made. Kicks your mouth buds. The sauce tastes like a hollandaise sauce. Crispy all the way through, not soggy. Most definitely the best Calamari I have ever had.

The Korean Bulgogi BBQ is a thinly sliced rib eye, pickled radish sald and cucumber. $12. Radish is earthy but clean. Cucumber is fresh and crisp. The meat is a bit smushy for my taste, a bit bland tasting and could have used more flavor then the cola marinade. Overall juicy.

The Atmosphere was great and very relaxing. Good music and a very friendly waiter. Hostess greeted us at the door with a smile. The waiter explained the menu. Explained what we were eating. Baked apple sidecar was not present, they ran out. Which is a shame cause I really wanted to drink that.

The Beetini is a beet infused vodka, lime and orange liquer. $11. Has a good taste. Refreshing. Beets don't overpower the taste. Looks like cranberry juice. Overall very, very good.

The last meal was a Mexican cheese tamale. Panela cheese,wild mushrooms $11. Juicy, has a spicy kick to it. Cilantro is fresh. Not enough cheese in the tamake though. Overall pretty good. Mushrooms are juicy and delicious.

Long service towards the end we waited a good 20 minutes before the waiter came back to take our dessert order.

Cheesecake-$7. Tastes lemony, fluffy, not too sweet.

Triffle-$7. Is refreshing cake taste, chilled to perfection. Pudding was great!

Eating at Colors was a good experience, and I will most definitely come back again but with a much larger group.

Overall total both Chrysoula and I, $87.09
