I think I didn't post here when we went a few weeks ago. It's in a strip mall in the UTC area, but very busy and pleasant inside. It's Lebanese, with some Egyptian influences.
We got excellent humus.
Baba ghanoush was very good.
Mujedra (lentils, rice, sauteed onions) was a little bit soupier than I expect (the rice is pureed into the lentils), but it was still super tasty.
CH and SB also liked their food.
Oh - and they let me taste some of their felafels. Excellent spice mix.
Lebanese white wine grew on me a little - I didn't like it first. It's a bit like retsina.
Look forward to trying again.

Sublime Tavern and Sea and Smoke Open Today in Del Mar
According to Eater San Diego (http://sandiego.eater.com/), both restaurants open this week (soft at least). Am curious to know how they are. If you're reading this and get to try one, let me know!
PS: Sea and Smoke menu looks DELISH, esp. for vegetarians: http://sandiego.eater.com/archives/2013/07/10/see-inside-sea-smoke-emerging-tonight-in-del-mar.php#more. Yum - can't wait to try it! (Anything is better than the bland-and-boring Paradise Grille that was there prior, but this is Urban Solace's menschy-yummy chef Matt Gordon's new place, so I'm very hopeful!)

Quick takes: Katana, Urban Pi, Native Foods Cafe
Some quick reports:
Katana: we are going more and more. It's super kid-friendly. SuperBoy loves the little flashlights they give you with your soft drink, and he also loves their miso soup (with extra seaweed), plus edamame, rice and cubed tofu. I like the ex-boyfriend roll when it's on special. I am exploring their winelist. Had one bad Chard, but the La Crema chard is very good, and the Greg Norman pinot is super delish and not super expensive.
Native Foods: LOVE this place. Want to eat my way through the menu. Last time tried: Moroccan bowl, seitan sub, macrobiotic bowl (super yum, I could eat this often).
Urban Pi: Went successfully with a big group recently. I still believe in staying away from the nasty tomato sauce,but the other food there is good. Mom got a yummy white pizza. I got the delish beet and arugula salad with a yumm vegan corn soup-of-the day. I also like their pomegranate drink.
