(From February 2011) Possibly the most popular, distinctive menu in town melds comfort food with thoughtful preparation. We’re mad for the lightly pan-fried crab and salmon cake, a loose-textured construction boosted with chopped herbs and onion, perfect for dredging through the pleasantly hot Creole mustard. Wood-grilled lamb chops take on a hint of Latin flavor with a spicy chorizo demi, softened by polenta creamy with jack cheese and smoky with roasted poblano. Even side dishes deserve special attention, particularly when they’re as distinctive as the bacon-riddled mustard greens and the mascarpone whipped potatoes. Our favorite sweet is the Valrhona chocolate cup with a chocolate-caramel-pecan mousse. An enclosed brick patio easily accommodates overflow crowds. Bar.
