There is no denying Panache's elegance. The walls are done in a soft shade of wheat, the bar is long and sleek, and bouquets of flowers dot the dining room. But this is a restaurant-lounge with a wild streak: The dining room chairs are bright yellow, funky-cool artwork hangs on the walls, and some weekend nights, the line to get in stretches down the block. It's a jolt of energy across the street from the quiet Mayflower Hotel. Panache serves a range of small plates that make up a gustatory tour of Europe and beyond. Diners can also order one of the larger plates, which include seared sea bass with sour cherry fig sauce, and rack of lamb with pommery mustard and ancho-mashed potatoes.
