The Mediterranean menu here features sophisticated versions of Greek classics like spanakopita, dolmades, moussaka, and souvlaki. The lamb salad is a favorite among regulars. The wine list also garners acclaim. Open-air dining is available on the patio. A smaller dining room can be reserved for special events.
Zohara is most quickly described as Mediterranean comfort food in an upscale setting. Large plates like seafood tagine and lemon za'atar--roasted chicken are available, but most guests choose to share several small plates of food inspired by every culture along the eastern Mediterranean shore, much of it grown at nearby Sub Edge Farm in, appropriately, Farmington. Crowds begin arriving during happy hour for inexpensive drinks and bites of salatim spreads, but Zohara is open from lunch through dinner.
The coast at its most dressed up, Cetrella is all polished wood and pressed tablecloths, and it hits every mark: adventurous wine list, live jazz on Friday and Saturday night, and a creative menu that pairs regional produce and fish with choice imported ingredients. The resulting dishes are sophisticated but not stuffy. The bar has a smaller and cheaper but no less delectable menu, and Sunday brunch is popular.
Inside a charming flower-covered house, this restaurant serves dishes that reflect the entire Mediterranean region. The menu, constantly changing and unfailingly great, depends on the availability of fresh seasonal ingredients, and the two-level dining room is cheerful and light. Excellent and long-lived but not flashy, the restaurant has a legion of dedicated fans.
