Beau Nash By Jim White Beau knows business lunches. If you’re looking for top-level food, service and atmosphere, Beau Nash in the Crescent Court Hotel brings it all together. The award winning New American Grill is a lustrous setting for your high-level business activities-especially in the beautiful garden dining room the Conservatory. New Executive Chef Bob Conte and his staff never miss a beat. The food is in tempo no matter the season or occasion. During our steamy summer, I especially like some of the lighter choices offered here-Spa Cuisine. The nutritionist at the Crescent Spa signs off on the recipes. These healthy-but tasty-items are noted on the menu with a crescent icon. For example, Beau Nash gilled corn and smoked chicken soup (cup $5/bowl $8) is an excellent starter. Tortilla salad with black bean cakes and jalapeno dressing ($9.50) and Honey glazed Bobwhite quail with dried cherry basmati rice and spaghetti squash ($15) are good main course selections. Power steak? Grilled filet mignon with cheddar cheese scalloped potatoes is just the ticket ($19). The grilled Atlantic salmon with horseradish mashed potatoes is succulent ($17). I also like the angel hair pasta with lump crabmeat and basil pesto ($19). Three phenomenal sandwiches are offered. My favorite is the grilled ahi tuna with arugula leaves, lemon mayonnaise and rosemary roasted potatoes ($12.50). I was promised-but never got-a “bite” of Beau-L-T with applewood smoked bacon ($11). Apparently, it was too good for my dining companion to part with. Griddled pork loin with chipotle black bean puree, manchego cheese and yucca chips (yummy) round out the sandwiches ($10). You’ll also find one of the best chicken Caesar’s around ($9.50). Posh and polished, but not stuffy, sums up the dining experience here. You’ll be in good company, too. The area’s business movers and shakers keep this place on their short list of lunch destinations.
