This sister sequel to the Ambassador Dining Room recreates the romantic elegance of the Ambassador but manages to be even more magical. In addition to well-prepared staples such as chicken korma and lamb vindaloo, consider the house specials (halibut cold-pressed in coconut milk floats our boat). We also love the daily happy hour (known as “bliss hour”) with small plates on offer.

Meat and more meat (think tripe, tongue, pork belly) is the main event at this authentic Korean barbecue joint that’s open whenever your inner carnivore calls. This is dinner theatre at its best (offering the steak and the sizzle), as most dishes are prepared in front of you on an open hibachi table. Spicy sides and pickled vegetables round out the show.

Sushi Sono

Lauren Cohen — Fri, 17 Aug 2018 11:19:01 +0000

Lake Kittamaqundi might sound like a body of water in Maine where you send your kids to summer camp, but it’s actually where you’ll find Columbia’s best-kept-secret shrine to sushi. Come here with close friends for tight tables covered in bottles of Sapporo and sake, satisfying appetizers like gyoza, as well as ornate platters (or boats, if you’re so inclined) of impeccable sashimi and sushi that put all other area menus to shame. We delighted in fat cuts of soft bluefin toro over pillowy sashimi rice, as well as flavorful filets of tuna and sesame-crusted seared salmon in the unassuming Sono #14. Next time, we plan to go bold with jellyfish salad.

You’ll find nods to the family’s native Brittany with dishes like escargot in garlic butter, among other items.

The Turn House

Lauren Cohen — Fri, 17 Aug 2018 11:24:00 +0000

It’s the skin that truly makes the chicken, as a member of our party observed during an immensely enjoyable dinner at this surprisingly sophisticated restaurant at Hobbits Glen Golf Course in Columbia. Chef Thomas Zippelli serves his bird alongside roasted apples and corn grits topped with charred onion. Both are excellent, but the crispness of the roasted chicken skin, which seals in juice and flavor without overcooking the meat, sets the dish apart. Like most of the menu (mushroom pot pie, wagyu carpaccio) on the night we visited, the chicken was locally sourced. It’s easy to be skeptical that a cutting-edge restaurant could thrive in a golf course clubhouse, but The Turn House is a hole in one.
