 Elaine's on Franklin Restaurant Review: Owner-chef Bret Jennings oversees the small, colorful dining room where he offers creative seasonal dishes based on cooking experiences in Thailand, Mexico and Europe, and served with a pinch of the American South. On any evening, the menu may include a pork rib chop served with ‘shrimp ‘n grits,’ country ham and onion confit; a white-sauced lasagna with assorted wild mushrooms and garlicky greens; or a grilled sturgeon with roasted garlic spätzle and Savoy cabbage. Dessert choices may include mountain apple crisp with house-made caramel ice cream or warm chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream topped with bourbon-caramel sauce. Jennings’ recommended wine pairings are inspired, and his wine list offers some of the most interesting bottles around, particularly hard-to-find Champagnes and intriguing selections from high-quality small producers. Stop by the bar early for a tapa or two with a reasonably priced glass of something special. |
