 Romantic lighting, formal table settings, fresh flowers and professional service combine to make us feel like we've stepped back in time. We enjoy the contemporary creations by chef Jonathan Gelman, whose menu reaches as far as the Mediterranean and as close as Texas. We recommend the starters of braised Kurobuta pork belly atop lemony dressed mâche, as well as the local quail that derives some of its rich, smoky flavor from cherry wood. Herb-crusted lamb chops in Madeira sauce prove a strong counterpoint, served with blue cheese barley and a savory ratatouille. The ahi dish’s black truffle risotto adds a rich and creamy component, its sun-dried tomato butter casting a more subtle nuance that the ubiquitous ginger and wasabi. Though do keep in mind, the selections and preparations change frequently according to freshness and the chef’s inspirations. Pair the three- or five-course tasting menu with selections from the meaty wine list. Tony Sansalone gives guests every reason to indulge in dessert; we favor his Gaviato strawberry tart, artisanal cheese assemblage or, for something more sumptuous, the Guanaja hazelnut crunch bar served with a malted milkshake and candied hazelnuts.
