Chaseo - Chatham, New York
One downside of living in the Golden Age of American Eating is that we too often find ourselves at the mercy of a restaurateur whose reach exceeds his grasp. Not so at Steve Gallagher and Carl Berman’s Chaseo. Here the Mediterranean-leaning menu is sophisticated enough to spark our interest, but the dishes are simple enough to be prepared and served to perfection by a staff that (I’m guessing here) never matriculated at Le Cordon Bleu. A generous portion of pan-seared haddock topped with a tomato-and-garlic coulis rests on a bed of freshly steamed spinach steeped in olive oil. Flanked by white-and-wild rice and garlicky asparagus spears, it is a satisfying entree and very fairly priced ($17). The pork medallions with apples and onions ($17.50) are not so much sauced as glazed with a brown-sugar-brandy reduction and served with mashed potatoes. For pasta-holics, there’s lobster ravioli ($15.50) topped with extra lobster in a sherry bisque sauce--quite deservedly one of the most popular items on the menu.
