Darwin is alive and well in Nish's recipes. On a Thursday evening in the gleaming basement kitchen, a worker dots a carpaccio of lobster that rests on a shiso leaf with dollops of mentaiko, or spicy cod roe, and uni, or sea urchin. "The first time I made that, I thought I'd sell a couple to Japanese customers," Nish says. "Instead, it's become one of my most popular dishes." Another worker shaves thin circles of black truffle to decorate a wedge of hamachi, or yellowtail, sizzling in a pan of duck fat and bacon morsels...
...limbo bar of exuberant tastelessness. Madonna, 42, mother of two, staked an early claim by writhing on a hood ornament in a material girl tank top. She was soon followed by 'N Sync's Justin Timberlake, sporting a new haircut and a shirt that appeared to be made of carpaccio, and Christina Aguilera, fresh from her stay on Temptation Island. Erykah Badu shocked the Staples Center audience by revealing her shaved head, while TONI BRAXTON revealed as much Toni Braxton as network television would allow in a vain attempt to erase the memory of Jennifer Lopez. That left Eminem...
...wrapped in folds of black that effectively hide a figure that once ballooned so much that paparazzi competed for photos as though they were getting paid by the pound. Yet she's looking better these days, down 40 lbs. thanks to a high-protein diet (this evening's menu: carpaccio, swordfish steak and hot milk for dessert). Her weight, of course, is hardly the only thing that has made her a star of the gossip pages.

...truffles and juicy slices of grilled portabella mushrooms, as well as a flavor-charged concoction of roasted pears wrapped in smoky proscuitto packages resting on a gorgonzola cream sauce. From the permanent menu, steamed mussels with peppercorns arrive tender and pink, nestled in a delicate white wine broth. Lamb carpaccio, an unlikely but delicious variation on the more traditional beef, is herb-scented, sliced meltingly thin and drizzled with a light and nutty olive oil. An entree special of duck breast stuffed with figs and walnuts and topped with a fruity wine-reduction sauce manages to successfully navigated the tightrope...
...true of our appetizers, which sounded simple enough but proved slightly overburdened. Winter Roast Salad ($9) was brimming with boiled fingerling potatoes, fresh, sweet yellow beets, maytag blue cheese, black olives and greens. However, the freshness of the ingredients was smothered by a pasty, creamy dressing. The Trio of Carpaccio ($13) was a similar case of good ingredients overwhelmed by sauce. Tender, delicious raw scallops, peppered beef, and tuna arrived on a platter elegantly garnished by veggies and greens. Each variety of carpaccio was doused liberally with a different sauce: scallops were accompanied by red pepper vinaigrette, beef by creamy...
