The SceneInhabiting a grand historic townhouse, G. Michael's features velvet drapings in plum and moss, and the lights are pleasingly low. An intimate outdoor patio seats about 24.

The Chefs The kitchen is under the joint command of chefs Tony Gates and Michael Jones, both skilled locals with resumes that include stints at some of the city's top eateries. The Menu The menu is Italian-American in the contemporary sense, more West Coast than Old World. Expect no meatballs. Chef Gates' forte has been Southwestern cuisine, so don't shy away from such dishes. Required Eating The calamari is fresh and tender, and skewers of seasoned shrimp are quick-grilled and served atop a delicious relish. The salmon fillet (the top seller) gets a crunchy cornmeal crust, paired with a house salsa verde. Mushroom ravioli are served in a potent porcini broth. Grilled lamb, duck and beef tenderloins, napped in interesting sauces, are done nicely.
