Last night, I was invited to dine at Ariana’s Restaurant at The Lyme Inn in Lyme, NH. It was the “soft-opening night” for Ariana’s and Chef Martin who has become known these past several years for sophisticated fare served in a casual atmosphere at the Bunten Farmhouse in Orford, NH. Soft opening though it was, there was nothing soft or dull about the fare Chef Martin served to his invited guests. His food was vibrant and alive with color and palette-pleasing, savory complexities and nuanced tastes.
