| Shaw's Restaurant
& Inn: Shaw's Restaurant is the ground floor of a 1950s-vintage
hotel that's been made more like an Inn, with adjoining rooms
combined into getaway suites.
The wood paneled-dining
rooms have tall ceilings and a stately air. The menu reflects the
diversity of the patronage. The left side is all-American and never
changes. It doesn't have to, listing hand-cut steaks and chops done
over a high-temperature chargrill (the apple-wood smoked pork chops
are particularly compelling if you can handle a 1-pound chop), and
the seafood is either broiled or fried.
The right side of the
menu is a daily-changing list that explores different American and
foreign regions week by week - rotating in a few favorites a few at
a time.
Seasonal explorations
include soft-shell crab week and, immediately following New Year's
Eve, three weeks' worth of spa menus featuring low-calorie and
low-fat food.
The wine list has
great depth of California cabernets, chardonnays and merlots. Shaw's
is one of the few restaurants that will lay down wines to age.
