Winner of multiple Wine Spectator "Awards of Excellence," and touted in Gourmet Magazine and the Zagat Guide, this one-of-a-kind wine bar and grill has also garnered praise (and a loyal following) locally. The food is on the cutting edge. Take, for example, the fresh Ahi glazed with lavender-infused grappa or the "Angels on Italian Horseback," sea scallops wrapped in prosciutto, grilled and served on a beet-horseradish compote. Entrees average USD20. Be sure to try the "Chocolate Lottery Torte" just for fun, a dense chocolate base topped with a real lottery ticket.
