Corduroy comes off as unassuming--much like chef/owner Tom Power's menu, which features modern American cuisine prepared with fresh, seasonal ingredients often sourced locally by Power himself. But the menu, like the restaurant's exterior, doesn't tell the whole story. Power, a former apprentice of Michel Richard, has a flair for making simple dishes exciting. Diners swear by the lobster carpaccio and the Muscovy duck with fig sauce, but it's hard to go wrong with the brief menu.

But Restaurant Week can also be a waiter's and diner's...
