The Culinary Institute of America runs this place in the handsome old Christian Brothers Winery. Century-old stone walls house a cavernous and bustling restaurant, with several cooking stations in full view; on busy nights you might find the hard-at-work chefs more entertaining than your dinner partner. The menu has a Mediterranean spirit and emphasizes locally grown produce. Typical main courses include pan-seared scallops with a white bean puree and winter-vegetable potpie.
