WASHINGTON –Los Angeles designer Michael S. Smith’s Web site gives no clue that he has the hottest decorating job in the country: the private quarters of the White House for the Obamas.
Call me squirrelly, but I think I know why I’m drawn to nuts in the fall.
I have a confession to make: The decor at Mythos frightened me a little. I am used to Greek restaurants where the decor is an old photo of the Parthenon. In Mythos, the art is large, historic-looking sketches accenting the dark wood. It has been my experience that more upscale decor can hike the price of a meal a buck or two for each plate, but in Mythos, my fears were unfounded. The portions were large, the prices were good, and everything was delicious.
