Peg and I typically veer away (read run) when a restaurant is part of a chain. In spite of this being part of the Foxian empire, we were drawn to this place because of the wonderful Luis Millan, His culinary chops are well documented and he could not have been a more gracious presence to our first visit here.The arancini and a chef's board of of sliced meats and cheese (with a wonderful apricot mostardo) began the meal and whetted the appetite. I had the heirloom beet salad and Peg the seasonal vegetable salad...the freshness permeated the dishes and the wonderful textural notes were wonderful. Moving to the mains, the chicken and prosciutto and spicy shrimp pasta dishes were wonderfully flavorful and not over spiced. A layered nutella, banana, dark chocolate, and hazelnut/plum combination dessert was very satisfying. Our server was Kim. The face of the house and the conduit to a wonderful experience is always the wait staff IMO...and she is superb. She is vigilant without hovering, and making sure all was well. I would strongly suggest that you try this place...but if your schedule permits...try the place as close to opening (4:00 pm) on a Saturday as you can make it. We arrived at 4:30ish...and by 6 the place was almost booked. The atmosphere was wonderful, and in the relative quiet of the earlier hour..you can appreciate the commitment that this place has for its decor and customers. Chain or no, individuals make the experience...and this experience was delightful. Dr, B
