Paintings and lamps feature mangos. Food was tasty. I had the Colorado Ribeye which was very tasty. The Pinot Noir [sp?] reduction made a wonderful sauce. And the onions [there were slivers of onion soaked in some sweet sauce and on top of that, some shoestring deepfried onions] on top were very good. The soup [that day it was tomato and roasted garlic] was tasty. The Amish raised chicken, garlic potatoes, lemon rosemary sauce was also very tasty. We didn't have any desserts but the dessert menu did look good. People at other tables ordered different entrees and they looked good as they were being presented. The food is very simple, but elegant and the presentation is very nice. The atmosphere is also simple, but elegant. Service was attentive. Pricing is very moderate. The ribeye was $13 and the chicken was $10. Other items on the menu were also very reasonable. The most expensive item on the menu is Chiappetti's Lamb Rack for $15. Looked very good. Basically, I think it is an all-around good American bistro. ---------------- Mango 712 N.
