Name dropping: Residents of restaurant-poor Brooklyn Heights needn't mourn the loss of Tinto. Owner Benjamin Weiner has opened a new restaurant in it's place and christened it Isobel, after his two-year old daughter. Tinto fans will find the same rustic dining room, but new chef Anthony Raggiri from Marseilles (the city, not the restaurant) has replaced Spanish nibbles with posh, Frenchified Mediterranean dishes like wild striped bass (pictured). Seared foie gras is exceptional, accompanied by carmelized pears, sweet white grapes and a port wine reduction. And cheeky high-end vegetables like fiddleheads and ramps give a kick to standard-issue pork chops and sea bass. -- Jay Jennings
