Small Wonder Food and Wine occupies the West Highland space once home to the Coral Room. Co-owner Grant Williams was the Coral Room's bar manager before buying the restaurant from his boss. Together, he, friend Raymond Childs and executive chef Gregory Lyons have opened Small Wonder to the neighborhood, offering comfortable entrees whose ingredients skew local, seasonal and organic. There's a sharp focus on vegetables, too, in surprising combinations and preparations. "I'm a firm believer that you should eat a well-balanced meal," chef Lyons told Gretchen Kurtz, who reviews Small Wonder this week. Photographer Danielle Lirette stopped by to get a visual.
