Since debuting in 2009, Amani’s BYOB spot has been a real trailblazer for the local food movement. With utmost respect for farm-fresh fare, award-winning chef Jonathan Amann and his wife, Jeanine, creatively evoke the essence of the land through entrées like braised Berkshire pork tostadas (with house-made kimchi), chicken confit apple fritters, and butternut-squash ravioli. High-end mixers offer the swanky potential for a Ginger Smash, blood-orange martini, Manhattan and more.
