Co-executive chefs Ben Puchowitz and Brian Lofink create winning American specialties, many with new-world touches. Ancho chile glazes a tender pork chop, accompanied by white corn arepas, braised collard greens and coffee barbecue sauce. There’s an Asian hint to the foie gras and wild mushroom wontons, thanks to a garnish of daikon and a spike of ginger in the broth. Lunch is a real steal, with most items in the $10-$15 range, except for the swanky $20 lunch tasting option (the $45 tasting menu at dinner is also a bargain). Bring a bottle you’ve been saving to this stylish BYOB---you'll be glad you did.
