Scala

Scala Review

Instead of a selection of appetizers followed by a full main-course menu, Scala has created intriguing dishes in middle-size portions. For two people, the way to go is to choose three or four and share. Creations are not equally successful, but worth trying are the confit of tomatoes, seared artichoke and okra; stuffed vegetables with lamb and pine nuts; and the duck leg confit and lamb chops with garlic and rosemary. The bar menu is also worth a look. The chocolate desserts are delicious (but skip the nondairy ice cream). The service at this kosher hotel restaurant is informed and attentive. Dark wood, thoughtful lighting, and jazzy background music enhance the sophisticated atmosphere.
