Opened during the winter of ’06, Fiamma Steak still maintains high quality. The restaurant at the corner of Hertel and Starin looks pretty ordinary on the outside, but the ambience changes once you walk through the doors. Sleek, contemporary decor prevails both in the bar — which probably makes some of the best traditional martinis in the city, as a steakhouse is supposed to do — as well as the dining room, where a fireplace glows.

The South Beach restaurant, located right in the heart of downtown Batavia, has been open for less than a year and has a lot going for it already. Described as offering “a purely tropical experience,” the place is large and features rattan furniture and servers clad in Hawaiian shirts. (Those servers spend entirely too much time wiping the tables off with Windex, if you ask me.) Daiquiris of the Day are on the menu, and (stuffed) parrots perch everywhere.
