Pumpkin seems to be the flavor of the night, altogether appropriate for the everpresent harvest theme. One dessert pays homage to the bulbous fruit in myriad ways: "The Pumpkin Patch" offers a pumpkin pot-de-creme, pumpkin strudel, pumpkin preserves, pumpkin ice cream and pumpkin brittle, all for $8. Enough to do Cinderella proud. For a bit more variety, the Harvest Ginger Bread is dense, not overly sweet and peppered with chunks of caramelized ginger. It is normally served with rice pudding ice cream (although quite tasty topped with the aforementioned pumpkin ice cream) and caramelized pear cranberry compote...

Starting with oysters on the half-shell ($8 to 12) at East Coast Grill, a great next step is to move on to a noodle dish ($9 to 13) at Cafe China. An entree ($12 to 20) at Magnolia...
