Natasha's Silverware Set

Available separately: Demitasse Spoons

We eat out a lot. When we travel, one of our agendas has always been to find the most unusual eateries. This search has taken us to many unusual places, from mom and pop diners in the hills of Kentucky to the plush and gaudy of New York and Toronto. One of our main interests in such places is the silverware ....I want it to feel good, heavy and balanced in my hands... When the time came to choose the silverware for our restaurant, once again we were bombarded with a plethora of styles that were over designed...modern looked too modern, antique looked overly antiqued. We wanted my silverware to say...well, very little...to be very quiet.  But at the same time it had to complement the Moroccan lanterns, African statues, and the theatre look of our restaurant.  We ultimately found what is best described as "lightly hip monastic," or perhaps "deluxe prison."  If there was a prison for kings...this is what they would eat with. We had such a hard time finding this simple silverware we thought you might be looking for it too.

The set includes a spoon, soup spoon, long tea spoon, fork, salad fork, and our webmaster's favorite: the knife
