American Bounty Restaurant

Gourmands take note: if you are in this neck of the woods, plan ahead and make reservations for an experience at the Culinary Institute of America where tomorrow's celebrated chefs are being trained. At the American Bounty, the atmosphere may be a little more relaxed but the attention to detail never is. The menu regularly features regional produce and herbs, and a revolving roster of American classics such as roasted bass or western barbecue braised beef short ribs with a side of succotash and yucca tots. Be sure to save room for dessert when the pastry chefs shine.
