 Chef John Brand, formerly of the Broadmoor in Colorado, is shaking up ever-elegant Las Canarias with a menu that smacks more of his own farm upbringing. Though much that’s on offer in the serene dining room overlooking the river references standard New American (think caramelized sea scallops with watermelon and Alaskan halibut with roasted beet and carrot jam), there are increasing signs of a concentration on local products such as Texas quail with pickled corn relish and Texas striped bass with duck fat roasted potatoes. The pace picks up even more with a Chef Tasting Menu that is the direct result of visits to local farmers and farmers markets. Five-course, seven-course and “say-when” options are all available, and all are paired with appropriate wines. The wine list is especially deep in Northern California Cabernets but could use more variety in both pricing and sourcing. Service remains smooth, and so do the flamenco strains of El Curro, the restaurant’s legendary flamenco guitarist.
