Dinette Description:
A neon sign spelling out Dinette gleams through floor-to-ceiling windows, beckoning hungry diners into the sleek but cozy interior of this tiny restaurant. Bright orange plastic chairs and polished stainless steel strike the appropriate contemporary design note. The wine bar features a weekly-changing list of 20 labels, available by the glass or bottle. And the well-edited menu reflects chef-owner Sonja Finn's focus on doing a few things really well. In many ways the operation is a model for our times---local, seasonal, organic, sustainable, casual fine dining. The energy-efficient equipment couples with a recycling and composting plan. The menu may seem simple---appetizers, salads, soups, small plates and pizzas. But what panache fresh and tasty ingredients, in unique combinations, deliver. Caramelized fennel elevates soup. Crisp thin-crusts support pizza toppings such as Savoy cabbage, with grilled leeks, feta and fresh mozzarella. Beef carpaccio blossoms with shaved Fontina, radicchio, hazelnuts and sherry vinegar. Understated, comforting desserts---fruitcake, baklava---finish the meal.
