Clio

|Clio

The Overview: Not for nothing is Ken Oringer well established in these parts as a chef and restaurateur to be reckoned with. His growing empire includes sushi star Uni and tapas joint Toro. But the jewel in his crown is Clio, which demonstrates a rare balance of precision and thoughtfulness countered with true flavors and textures that excite the senses. Most important, unlike some local chefs, he’s not afraid to employ exotic ingredients—an appetizer of baby glass eels, known as piballes, or melt-in-the-mouth olive oil–poached salmon served with grapefruit, kohlrabi, and licorice root. Oringer also has the smarts to surround himself with a talented team and a first-class fleet of servers who share his philosophy of artful adventure. No wonder the sleek dining room is packed every night with well-heeled business travelers and lovesick suitors.
