In a Casablanca-like setting, good Americanized Mediterranean cuisine is served amid potted palms and rattan chairs. Chef and owner Matthew Kenney has found success with his style of cooking, and prices are high as a result. There is a popular salad with tomatoes, olives and feta cheese. Appetizers include a terrine of foie gras with hazelnuts and grilled green figs. Popular entrees are risotto with lobster, shrimp and fava beans, and rack of lamb marinated in yogurt and spice.
