Capaneus

oops, accidentally posted without saying anything. anyway, what happened there? what's screwed up? have i completely missed some local restaurant gossip? ← Sure did. The owner apparently was put off by the "too fancy" menu, or some such, so there was a parting of the ways - the chef and some of the crew departing, and the owner (who also runs La Boheme) taking over the skillets. The menu has apparently been dumbed down, though I haven't seen any specifics.

Hi. Just wanted to thank you folks for some of the info I've gleaned on this thread, particularly the rec on the Kim Crawford SB. Loved the bottle I had with dinner Friday. Planning on picking up a case.

As long as we are looking for "good", rather than just what's absent, I wish we could get a decent pad thai somewhere in town... There *is* authentic Portuguese food in the Northeast. Not good, mind you, but authentic. Like the stuff I'd get at the home of my one aunt who cannot cook too well. And yeah, Pif doesn't do it for me as a bistro, nor does Caribou. Perrier once swore up and down that Brasserie Perrier really *would* be a brasserie... Which we also still don't have, bistros aside.
