the Culinary Institute, and boy does it show! All pastas are homemade, and then there
are the outstanding entrees. Among them: a snapper filet sautéed with artichokes, diced
tomatoes, basil, saffron, and white wine; braised lamb shanks with vegetable risotto; and
for dessert, a sinful, semisweet flourless chocolate torte.

Frappes North CREATIVE AMERICAN/FUSION It's worth the 6-mile drive
north to Bobby and Meryl Frappier's sophisticated, hip establishment, which provides
this area's most entertaining cuisine. Some like to call the food served here “organically
groovy.” I just call it great. Several chic dining rooms set the stage for an ever-changing
“Menu of the Moment,” fusing a multitude of styles. Ingredients are always fresh, and
herbs come from the restaurant's garden. Bobby and Meryl offer at least one vegetarian
main course. Lunch is a steal here, and Sunday brunch features a stellar spinach, tomato,
and cheddar cheese fritatta. The restaurant is in a storefront on the mainland stretch of
Granada Boulevard, Ormond Beach's main drag.

McK's Dublin Station AMERICAN/IRISH Worth knowing about because it serves
food after midnight, this upscale Irish pub has an eclectic menu. The fare includes club
sandwiches, burgers, mahimahi wraps, and a few main courses of steak, fish, and chicken.
The food isn't exceptional, but it's perfectly acceptable after a few Bass ales. The service
is sometimes rushed but usually pleasant.
