What was once the sexy Travertine, is now the sexy Ken & Cook, and I had a tasty meal there a few weeks ago.

Squid ($15), with yogurt, mint, and chili was delicious. The chili adding the perfect kick to the dish. Order it.

If you enjoy your oysters "Rockefeller" style, then try Ken & Cook's ($17), which come with spinach, pernod, and breadcrumbs.

Chicken ($19) comes fried and served with biscuits and honey. My bird was tasty, juicy, and very pleasant.

Black Bass ($28), comes with broccoli rabe, clams, and tomato, and is wonderful. The fish perfectly cooked, that broth soothing and flavorful.

So if you are seeking a downtown spot with good food and sex appeal, Ken & Cook will hook it up.
