Jacaranda

Frommer's Review

This friendly and casual restaurant (named for the purple-flowered jacaranda tree) attracts an affluent over-40 crowd for its nightly live music at the Patio Lounge. (After midnight, a 20-something crowd which lovingly refers to the place as the Jacko sweeps in.) Although the Jacaranda is best known as a local gathering spot, it has also received several dining awards. Fish is well prepared here, or you can choose steaks or prime rib. The linguine with a dozen littleneck clams tossed in a piquant red or white clam sauce is excellent. For dessert, the turtle pie -- ice cream, caramel, fudge sauce, chopped nuts, and whipped cream -- will send you away stuffed.
