This restaurant is the first solo project for chef Graham Elliot Bowles, who garnered scores of awards during his stint as the chef de cuisine at Avenues (including a 2008 James Beard Foundation Best Chef: Great Lakes nomination). Bowles explains his concept here as "fine dining, redefined"--meaning appetizers from $9 to $12 and entrees under $30. The seasonally focused a la carte menu (which changes frequently) is divided into cold, hot, sea, land and sweet categories; look for "hot" choices such as aged-cheddar risotto with Pabst-glazed pearl onions, granny smith apples, crispy prosciutto and Cheez-It crackers, and "land" options like beef short rib stroganoff with wild mushrooms, egg noodles, slow-roasted shallots and peppered sour cream. The decor features floor-to-ceiling windows, exposed brick and ductwork, and no white tablecloths or fancy floral displays, a la Avenues.
