Restaurant Martin

Chef Martin Rios, owner (with his wife Jennifer) of Restaurant Martin, is as close to a culinary celebrity as you can get in this town. Among his accomplishments are five nominations for a James Beard Award and appearances on both the Cooking Channel and the Food Network. He's always been featured in SAVEUR and Bon Appétit. The man certainly knows his way around a kitchen. Combine that with a chic dining establishment, extensive wine list and attentive service and you have a topnotch eatery. Rios is committed to using the freshest seasonal ingredients for his "progressive American cuisine." In summer he even has his own garden outside his kitchen door. Sit on the patio and you may see him picking a few herbs for a garnish.
