Doug Gruen, head chef and owner of Blue Stone Bar & Grill in Ithaca, N.Y. sits down in his dining area Tuesday afternoon before the restaurant opens. The smaller dining room, which sits 38-40 people, adapts to an intimate setting. The walls are covered in paintings by Warren Bunn, a local artist who Blue Stone has been featuring on their walls for three years now. Gruen says the first year he owned the restaurant they had several artists come and go, but feels Bunn has found his place at Blue Stone.
As owner for four years now, Gruen has found his place at Blue Stone, and the restaurant holds an atmosphere condusive to an elegant night out.
