First Italian, then seafood, now American with a traditional deli core: this handsome restaurant’s third owner is surely hoping for third-time charm, and though there may be some getting-up-to-speed issues, initial indications are good. Grilled “dolmas” of Swiss chard wrapped around goat cheese with Marcona almonds show no signs of heat but are otherwise inventive and attractive. A roasted beet salad could be beetier, but the blend with arugula and candied onion is skilled. A plate of orecchiette with grilled shrimp needed a punchier wine sauce, but was otherwise a standout. And the classic Reuben, with house-made rye but imported-from-New York everything else, suggested that the kitchen may be on the road to deli dominance. Desserts, including a popular banana pudding and a pretty good take on the New York-style cheesecake, are worth the trip alone---as is the polished bar with its classic and creative cocktails.
