One of the many things we love about Oregon is that it's home to world-class, award-winning chefs who dazzle us with innovative dishes that delight the palate. Matt Bennett is doing just that in Albany with four restaurants: Boccherini's, First Burger, Clemenza's and Sybaris. All within a quarter mile of one another, each restaurant has its own distinct personality and menu. The award-winning Sybaris restaurant serves guests the freshest ingredients in season and is not to be missed! |
