LAFAYETTE SQUARE. Eleven Eleven has gotten a lot of buzz since opening ­ and expectations are skillfully met. Set in a former factory, the restaurant is a cozy mix of brick, wood, leather, and copper. It features two levels, fireplaces, and an exhibition kitchen, and it's become a regular destination for city diners. The menu treads the ground between Californian and Italian fare, offering dishes like roasted venison loin, seared halibut, and braised rabbit with goat cheese polenta (a signature). They're a great prelude to dessert treats like a crème custard napoleon with bananas and chocolate and to the locally-favored gooey butter cake, whose richness is tempered with a glass of cold milk.
