...grand ones -- as in Claude Lorrain's classical revisions of the pastoral landscape, here represented by the Landscape with Nymph and Satyr Dancing, 1641 -- but Roman architecture does not include a stern call to Roman virtue and gravity. Arcadia's weather is always equable, and its views intimate and mellow. Above all, its location is not too far out of town; Giorgione, Titian, Rubens and other pastoralists never fail to include the reassuring sight of a martello tower or a farmhouse in the middle distance...

...chef-partner, Heinz Schwab, executes stylish versions of his native Swiss dishes, along with delicate nouvelle inventions. His most celebrated dishes: his version of the Russian meat-filled turnovers, known as piroshki, which he nestles on an herbaceous bearnaise sauce; roast breast of pheasant with Swiss chard and a mellow stew of apples and pears; and roseate medallions of venison with wild mushrooms and a cream-lightened game sauce.
