This
is a lunch-time favorite in Cayuga Heights, where the chef’s fertile
imagination runs free with unusual combinations of flavors that always seem to
work. Try the oven-roasted Atlantic
salmon with pine-nut risotto, capers, tomatoes, anchovies, Manzanilla and
Kalamata olives, or the Korean grilled skirt steak with locally grown poi choy,
sushi rice, and ginger cream sriracha Mongolian sauce. Somehow, though, after
hearing the day’s exotic specials, we always wind up with the
pesto-and-mozzarella-slathered flatbread topped with a Caesar salad, a hunk of
grilled salmon or fried squid, and plenty of fresh lemon, enough roughage and
Omega-3s for two meals.
Dinnertime
brings out faculty members romancing prospective faculty members. Their Wine
Spectator Award-winning list features many great local wines as well as a full
spectrum of international offerings. Portions are hefty. Service is
exceptional. And it’s quiet enough for real conversation. Fancy that!
