A smorgasbord of news on the local restaurant front:
Chrissy Benoit of Lake Worth’s Havana Hideout opened The Little House on Ocean Avenue in downtown Boynton Beach, serving an eclectic American menu. The historic cottage was moved and renovated with the help of the CRA.
Longtime Boca Raton chef John Belleme, formerly of Zemi and Henry’s, is executive chef at the new luxe restaurant and lounge, Stephane’s in Boca Raton. A mix of modern French and American cuisine at moderate prices can be ordered off the iPads provided to diners as a pairing guide. The focus is on sustainable and natural meats and seafoods, matched to wines chosen by master sommelier Virginia Philip. The lounge features a contemporary cocktail list and music mixed by the owner, Stephane Lang-Willar. (Stephane’s is at 2006 NW Executive Center Circle; 893-8838, www.stephanesrestaurant.com)
Also new: Boca’s Chops Lobster Bar, in Royal Palm Plaza, sports a new cocktail lounge that opened Aug. 1.
