FIRST IMPRESSION : Though it ’ s the only eatery here without an Atwells address , this is where I ’ d choose to hide out under moody lighting and private-yet-spacious booths encircled by thick , heavy curtains .
PERSONAL PICKS : I couldn ’ t resist the squash blossom special — crispy fried squash with cheese and prosciutto . Next , I dug into the buttery shrimp scampi while my friend enjoyed the red snapper special . I stole a few bites and absolutely
