THE RIVIERA:
Northern Meditalian. This has all the trappings of a great romantic restaurant-twinkling lights. Old World warmth, and continentally suave owner maitre d'. Mix in the sensual notes coming from the piano and you may feel tempted to skip dinner and head back to the room. But then you'd have missed out on an array of interesting Mediterranean/Italian specialties. Langoustine, sea scallops, and shrimp poached and drizzled with truffle oil; ravioli plump with artichoke; hazelnut-crusted yellowfin tuna with asparagus, artichoke, citrus filets, and polenta; venison filets roasted with braised pears, chestnut puree, honey porto jus, and juniper berries. This is provocative cuisine done well. Remember to save room for a souffle. 2761 West Gulf Drive. Sanibel, 239/472-1141.
