Chef Jon Sybert and his crew do wonders with pasta, whether it’s fusilli with slow-roasted pork and fennel breadcrumbs or cauliflower-Taleggio mezzaluna with black truffles and hazelnuts. But the can’t-miss dish is the saffron hot-honey half chicken with a salty-sweet fennel crust—perfect for sharing in the sexy, date-night-ready dining room. Meanwhile, somm and co-owner Bill Jensen is ready with a story behind every bottle, making this a destination for wine snobs and novices alike.
