DAILY NEWS RESTAURANT – American
White tablecloths, sparkling crystal, a maitre d' at the door and soft music low behind it: old-school fine dining on South Fort Harrison Avenue in Clearwater. The kitchen works a European-American line, opening with grilled octopus dressed in herb, lemon and olive oil, calamari steak under sweet fig sauce, and eggplant rollatine baked with imported ricotta. Mains run to a rack of lamb in fine herbs and Dijon, a sixteen-ounce fire-grilled T-bone, salmon cacciatore, a cajun-seared tuna stack, and linguine alla pescatore with shrimp, clams, scallops and mussels. Truffle mashed potato and steamed vegetables come alongside. Private rooms handle receptions.
