With its sparkling brass and glass, the restaurant surely bespeaks Southern elegance while the menu itself is almost as compelling as the setting. You’ll find such haute temptations as prime rib (the second serving on the house), tournedos Bayou and an entrée called Painted Tuna. Less formal dishes include burgers and a grilled turkey Reuben on the lunch menu. Although the bar is outfitted with the requisite television, you may be much more interested in the passing scene and the glam setting than with the game.
