  • Restaurant review: Penny’s Wine Shop is a triumph

    There is one image, in particular, that hangs on the vision board of a wall at Penny’s Wine Shop in Jackson Ward. It is of Maggie Lena Walker, who, in 1903, founded St. Luke Penny Savings Bank, for which this wine-store restaurant has been named. You’d never guess it from the photo, but Walker was…

  • Restaurant Review: Narbona

    Restaurant Review: Narbona

    I was intrigued when I heard buzz about another Miami restaurant strutting up to Boca. Plus, it had a market and wine shop component. When I heard its name, I realized I had already experienced Narbona’s hospitality—but in its home country of Uruguay. When we visited Argentina’s wine region years ago, we made a point…

    Fallow boys flex with mammoth second act at Roe, says Jimi Famurewa

    If there were blots then they were faint — the somewhat repetitive reappearance of yet more padrons alongside a perfectly nice (yet perhaps not wholly necessary) venison mixed grill platter. We finished with a piece of meat fruit-level trickery: a banana parfait set by what I imagine is a complex, custom mould into the shape…

    Vegan options, review requests among reader questions on Fort Wayne restaurants

    As I dig into my mailbag once again, it was a little bare, but there was plenty of quality to offset the quantity. The first query, however, was one that I have answered many times over the years and one which, honestly, I thought I might not see again given the way the restaurant scene…

    Restaurant Roundup: Local Patios for Spring and Summer

    Courtesy Photo I sure hope I don’t jinx anything by saying that winter is officially over in Utah; I’m still rubbing my neck from the meteorological whiplash caused by the May blizzard that rolled in after enjoying a 75-degree high. The forecast is looking optimistic thus far, which means patio dining is back in style,…

    Restaurant Review: ‘New Nordic’ Isn’t New, but ILIS Adds a Fresh Spin

    Mads Refslund’s creative ideas at this Brooklyn restaurant can be dreamily seductive, even if the execution isn’t always as compelling. The most talked-about dish at ILIS, the cavernous Brooklyn restaurant opened by the Danish-born chef Mads Refslund in October, has to be the clam flask. This is a drinking vessel made by opening a surf…
