(<b>Seviche - A Latin Bistro, <i>Voice-Tribune</i>, Nov. 29, 2007</b>)

When Anthony Lamas's son, Ethan Diego, turned 4, Lamas and his wife, Samantha, made the same decision as a lot of young parents before them: They moved from the Highlands to the East End, seeking a quiet, suburban setting with good schools for the youngsters.

It wasn't long before Lamas made another important decision: With the strong encouragement of his wife and his father-in-law, Dr. Bruce Gaddie – longtime Oldham County residents – he brought his workplace out to the suburbs, too.

Lamas, chef and owner of Louisville's immensely popular Seviche – A Latin Restaurant – now presides over two restaurants, having opened Seviche – A Latin Bistro last month in the quarters vacated by the short-lived Cutting Board on Goose Creek Road.

With the exception of locally owned and operated Limestone on North Hurstbourne, Lamas said he was startled to discover how much the East End's fine-dining scene has been dominated by corporate chain eateries.

The arrival of the new Seviche, though, coupled with Equus chef-owner Dean Corbett's planned opening of Corbett's An American Place in Brownsboro Crossing on Dec. 15 and Napa River Grill's planned move from Dupont Circle to Westport Village early next year, may signal a coming tide.

Robin, your timing is PERFECT since this is where we're planning on going for the 2nd Tuesday dinner

Are the schools in the Highlands really that bad?

Are the schools in the Highlands really that bad?

That's not my impression, but maybe Anthony should answer that question.

IMHO, the best schools in JCPS are near downtown. The flip side is that on the east end you have more of a possibility of neighborhood schools that are good without needing to qualify for special programs.

We've had great experiences with our elementary, middle, and high schools choices in the West End, Smoketown, and Old Louisville, respectively.

Who knows, though, he could have been speaking of wanting them to go to a particular private school on the east end as well.

Robin - do you know for sure that they moved to the East End and not all the way to Oldham County?!?!

The only reason I say that is because I grew up in Oldham County and went to school with both Samantha and Ben Gaddie. Maybe they wanted their kids to go the same schools that Samantha did?!?

Exactly! My brother in laws daughters go to Goshen and St. Fracis. My wife wanted Ethan Diego to go to the same schools as his cousins. I went to school in California, so I would'nt know much about the schools here. I did hear good things about Highland middle though. The wife is know talking about moving down a little farther, so Ethan can go to Goshen aswell. Anyways, hope you all decide on Seviche for your next off line dinner. I will send some "bocditos" ( little mouths ) out.
Muchas gracias y buen provecho!
