...This chef-owned Mediterranean in Wilton...garners praise for "delicious" dishes that range from Moroccan chicken to fish stew; "service is attentive", the setting is "bright and attractive" and there's "great outdoor seating in the summer".

Wilton wags "wish it weren't in a shopping center", but if you "don't look out the window, you'll feel like you're in a seaside Med" eatery where "attentive servers" bring "properly prepared" poissons; malcontents mourn "the magic it use to have" - since an ownership change, "the menu is too eclectic, ranging from Morocco to Italy" - but boosters believe it's "a breath of fresh air for locals who miss Manhattan-style dining".

"The grilled scallops over a tabbouleh salad in a fruit-citrus vinaigrette worked beautifully together...a prized dish."

"Regulars of the grill, considered by the New York Times (among others) and Connecticut "foodies" to be one of the state's top restaurants, will notice some additions to the seafood-heavy menu - namely steaks and dishes featuring dry-aged beef."

 

 


Winter/Spring 2004:

 

"A typical night's fare includes two fresh fish: a grilled mahi-mahi and a grilled wild striped bass. My son Adam has enjoyed the bass three times and says it could not be improved upon."

April 2004:

 

"That the kitchen crew performs with a certain panache is perfectly exemplified by the grilled Eggplant Parcels, an appetizer.  What could be more basic than two strips of roasted eggplant, buffalo mozzarella, fresh basil and a couple of small slices of beefsteak tomatoes? And yet when folded together and heated as a pair of two-inch-square eggplant packets, sprinkled with toasted pinon nuts and chopped chives, and surrounded by a tantalizing sundried tomatoe sauce - reduced with pureed red pepper and garlic - these delectable morsels are transformed into far more than the sum of their parts."
