Lyceum Bar & Grill

Frommer's Review

The elegance of the Lyceum's high-ceilinged front rooms and glass-walled back rooms matches the sky-high quality of the food, which attracts local businesspeople as well as out-of-towners. Grilling is the signature cooking technique, but the kitchen is adept with the full range of preparations and delectable (local, when possible) ingredients. Bounteous chicken salad with unusual slaw or the inventive risotto of the day makes a substantial but not incapacitating lunch in the middle of sightseeing; Sunday brunch is an enjoyable refueling stop, too. At dinner, flavorful meat and fish dishes, such as grilled pork tenderloin with goat-cheese polenta or oven-roasted cod over white-bean succotash, are equally delicious. Try to save room for one of the traditional yet sophisticated desserts -- the brownie sundae is out of this world.

Party Line -- Alexander Graham Bell made the first telephone call from the building that now holds the Lyceum Bar & Grill.
