Expect a fine-dining experience at this small, quality restaurant on the main drag. Award-winning chef John Newman comes up with a fusion of French and Italian dishes such as marinated rack of lamb and char-grilled portabello mushrooms with spinach and Gorgonzola. Desserts are sublime; reserve ahead.
