Artisan Review

Innovative renditions of traditional American comfort foods, a well-chosen list of regional wines, a stylish full bar, and a sophisticated urban vibe lure winemakers, locals, and tourists to this small, family-run American bistro in an art-deco building near the town square. Chris Kobayashi (Chef Koby, a James Beard award nominee) uses local, organic, wild-caught ingredients to whip up regional favorites, which might include red abalone with fried green tomatoes and pancetta, scallops with laughing bird prawns, mussels, clams, Spanish chorizo, and saffron, or flatiron steak with shallots, fries, and cabernet butter. Ask for a booth facing the open kitchen, and save room for the restaurant's homestyle desserts: brownies, peach crumbles, crème brûlée, and the like.
