The Central Ave strip-mall setting may be off-putting to some, but to those in the know, those who understand a thing or two about NYC-trained chef/owner Brian Sernatinger and his never-ending quest to deliver an up-to-the-minute experience, this is a hidden gem. “We always have something new and exciting on the menu,” says Sernatinger. Recent highlights include cod brandade ravioli with toasted almonds and fresh black Burgundy truffle cream, and beef cheek braised in red wine until fork-tender, which Sernatinger suggests as “perfect for these cold, winter days.”
