"WHY WE LOVE IT: It may be staffed by nonviolent juvenile offenders who are learning the restaurant trade (from executive chef Chad Houser and his team), but Cafe Momentum is a terrific restaurant in its own right. Knowing that your dinner tab supports such a worthwhile cause makes the modern American fare seem even more delicious, and the eager-to-please young servers can melt your heart. A thoughtful wine list priced not much higher than retail makes dinner there a bargain for wine lovers."

"From its start, Cafe Momentum has had all the makings of a great restaurant: a relaxed ambiance, reasonable pricing, and innovative, delicious food.
