The Scene
Located inside the Copperbottom Inn, this popular eatery is just off Park Avenue. Betty, the restaurant's namesake goldfish, reigns over a dining room awash in white linens and earth-toned walls. The clientele is made up of well-kempt locals and in-the-know visitors. An eclectic collection of plates makes every dish a surprise. Fireplaces, knickknacks, old family photos and race-car models finish the restaurant's homey feel.

The Food
Reductions and fresh, seasonal ingredients are the keys to the seasonal menu. Creative pairings include smoked salmon ravioli and wild mushroom crepes. Sauteed French Burgundy escargot is presented in a puff pastry with garlic, tomatoes, red peppers and country ham. Other notable entrees include sauteed scaloppine of turkey breast with shrimp and artichokes, and the popular rack of lamb marinated in garlic and herbs.
