CHEEKY MONKEY,

What's in a name? For Cheeky Monkey, it's a concept and a whimsical moniker that lends shape to this restaurant from the folks who brought us the Gatehouse in Providence. With a British Colonial spin, and monkeys on the chandeliers, this restaurant stakes its claim to "fun-loving." Two secondary themes emerge in chef Holly Dion's eclectic menu: her interests in Creole and Cajun tastes, as well as Asian dishes. There are nods to the British inspiration, however, such as the beer-battered fish and chips ($12.95). After dinner, guests are invited to move to the plush sitting room upstairs for brandy and cigars.
