Armitage may be a bit tricky to find, but after a long day of shopping at La Encantada, this wine bar is an ideal spot to nosh, sip and relax. The room is a mix of industrial chic and wine cellar cool, complete with plush sofas from which you can peruse the worldly wine list and food menu. Start with the prime rib or tuna sliders. For heartier fare, we suggest the farcito pollo, a savory chicken breast stuffed with Boursin and spinach. Or if you prefer seafood, try the seared halibut and its mélange of wild rice, grape tomatoes, pea sprouts, prosciutto and melon coulis. At weekend brunch, we always order the Armitage Benedict, a jazzy egg dish with prosciutto, Havarti and asparagus on Asiago bread smothered in pink-hued hollandaise. Sweeter dishes include the peanut butter encrusted french toast, aromatic with orange, vanilla and cinnamon and topped with cream cheese, strawberries and whipped cream. And, of course, there’s all that wine. The twenty or so flights take you around the world --- and on Wednesdays, all bottled wine is half off. The daily happy hour is a bonus.
