Within a bi-level space, Twenty9 and its menu find room for both elegant, upscale dining and casual pub eats below-decks. Applewood bacon seals in the juices of the filet mignon ($33.50) and insulates it from jealous gossip between crab-and-corn risotto and garlic spinach. Free-range chicken ($33.50) adapts to the confines of the table with the help of butternut squash and apple-and-goat-cheese salad, and 18-ounce rib eyes ($28.50) leave room on the plate only for a classic side of veggies, potato, or machismo. The lower level slides shareable plates such as prime-rib cheesesteak nachos ($10.95) and burgers with gourmet toppings ($8.95) down the bar toward flat-screen-fixated munchers. In the warmer months, live music launches from an immense open-air patio and trespasses into the formal dining room to tiptoe amid warm wood tones and elegant cut-stone inlays.
