Just like real supranationalism, this would all be great fun if it actually produced satisfactory results, and occasionally it does. The skillet roasted skate with morels, fava beans and asparagus ($19) was a very nice rendition of a fish that seems to be turning up on more menus by the second. The ample portion of skate was perfectly cooked, with a nice crust on the outside, but still extremely tender inside. The dish did not need to be literally swimming in butter, but the morel mushrooms were also fresh and flavorful. In another entrée bright spot, the pork...

Says Debra Ruder, 43, a communications specialist who lives in suburban Boston with her husband and two sons...
Gourmet dining is the newest trend in Europe's luxury department stores, and the menus are as cutting-edge as the fashions around them. Though designers like Armani, Courrèges, Ventillo, Lanvin, Barbara Bui and Nicole Farhi realized years ago that the chicest store accessory is a stylish café bearing your label, major retailers are just now choosing to create and run their own restaurants rather than depending on outside concessionaires. "It is a completely new era for restaurants and retail," says Jean Paul Barat, general manager of food operations at Selfridges. "Food is now a driving force...
