(From May 2009) Owner Adam Jones has been honing his restaurateur skills on Main Street for fifteen years, and that unrelenting attention to detail has found a new home in this high-end space helmed by chef Blaine Staniford, a CIA grad who spent a decade in the culinary trenches of New York, San Francisco, and Dallas. His artistry with modern American classics has produced a varied menu, with appetizers like a marvelous beef carpaccio with sun-dried tomatoes and a beet-and-watercress salad with toasted shallot vinaigrette and a crispy sphere of goat cheese. Indeed, we were so taken with the appetizers that we made a whole meal of them, ordering the zesty fried oysters atop sautéed spinach and the challenging Seafood Tower composed of shrimp, oysters on the half shell and Rockefeller, crab, and tuna.
