Spearheading the new crop of Little Italy's fine-dining restaurants, J&I is the creation of star chef Richard Blais, who performs culinary sorcery with whatever is fresh, in season and locally available. While the menu is in constant flux, the sharing concept and the irresistible buttermilk biscuits are constant. It's all beautifully presented in the spacious setting of an open-beamed warehouse.
Reserve in advance, or try for a seat at the bar (great cocktails, too).
