Long before the doors open for dinner at Bang! you can watch the chefs bustling about through big windows that look into the small kitchen. Follow the narrow walkway between Common Grounds and Bang! to the rear of the restaurant, where a small enclosed patio harbors people waiting for their tables and diners enjoying the weather. The interior feels modern and artistic, with cool turquoise walls, deep red ceilings, yellow and green accents, and abstract local art everywhere. Sip a glass of frosty lemonade while you browse the small menu. A few specials keep the possibilities interesting. Don’t miss the carrot ginger soup—a big bowl of spice and color that refreshes the palate. For appetizers, try a plate of small seared-scallops in cilantro sauce or a salad of mixed greens, goat cheese and crusty bread. Most of the entrées will remind you of comfort foods. Picture meatloaf drizzled in spicy ketchup with fluffy mashed potatoes, juicy rib eye with sautéed spinach, and catfish with hush puppies. For a change of pace, try a plate of mushroom ravioli or spicy shrimp with mango salsa over rice. Hot gingerbread with whipped cream and chocolate cappuccino mousse will bring a smile to your face.
