C.P. Whitney's Chop House,

Crowne Plaza Hotel, 10 Lincoln Square, Worcester, 791-1600.

The first time I feasted at C.P. Whitney's, I heralded it as one of the top five restaurants in Worcester. With a new menu in place, it's certainly holding its own. The setting is Manhattan chic, the service sharp and friendly. A new menu adds zest, creativity, and an international flair like Thai coconut scallops and duckling lapparousse. Steak-lovers can savor filet mignon, New York sirloin (Certified Angus beef only), top sirloin, and Delmonico steak " all Certified Angus Beef. The specialty salad bar is worth its own trip.

Price Range: $13 - $27.
