The Connecticut Table

Feng Asian Bistro & Hibachi, Canton

Hibachi cooking is an action game, a dramatic art and an exciting spectator sport—when the chefs are good. And the two I am watching are looking great. Both are commanding figures, dressed for combat with swashbuckling sashes and colorful headgear, no servile whites and cream-puff toques for them!

Ibiza Tapas, Hamden

Ibiza Tapas, Hamden

What I like best about Ibiza Tapas restaurant and wine Bar is that it gives us a taste (actually a multiplicity of tastes) of the real Spain, a place far more exciting than the “Sunny Spain” of tourist brochures. Galicia, for example, where chef-owner Ignacio Blanco comes from, has a long, craggy, windswept, rain-washed coast with thrilling views and the best seafood in the world—which Ignacio (as everyone calls him) personally imports for his restaurants.
