It seems that the menu has been a bit simplified since Matt Accarrino was fired, and doesn't sound as interesting, but the food was still well-executed on my last visit in late July. The Berkshire pork loin is a winner among the mains. The kanpachi (first course) is excellent. The spinach & bacon salad is superb; best bacon I've ever had.

Many of us are wondering how things have held up since the previous chef, manager and sommelier all left at once. Fri Oct 02 13:58:14 -0700 2009 5074907 171170 josephnl
