What James Beard Award-winning chef Shawn McClain does for vegetarian food at Green Zebra and for seafood at Spring, he does for meat at Custom House. Which is to say, he elevates it to new levels, with succulent braises, robust roasts and marvelous marinades. The menu changes with the seasons; right now, you'll find hearty braised veal breast with oxtail ravioli and sour cherries, rabbit done two ways and Maine sea scallops with squash and poblano pepper. And since it's located in the Hotel Blake, you could spend the night and see how the talented chef handles breakfast, too.
