Fantastic eatery serving contemporary American cuisine in a warm, friendly ambiance. Highlights include a flattened, breaded, center cut pork chop with a cranberry-orange chutney and Grand Marnier-bathed osso buco. But it’s the savory eggplant cheesecake that will make you wanna kiss the chef, even elope with him to some foreign realm. Sure, the guy’s married, but you think they care about that in Timbuktu? Plus, when he serves you up some salmon wrapped in bacon, it’ll help you get over the possibility of prosecution.
