Chiara is somewhat of an enigma. Westwood was a dry town for many years and just changed the laws in 2005 to allow alcohol licenses. Before that, there were essentially no restaurants. Chiara is the first really serious high-end restaurant in Westwood and it was established with very high ideals of quality - a very carefully designed interior decor, very good food beautifully presented, good service and Boston-level prices.
The fresh bread with olive and garlic tapenade is scrumptious as a starter. The food was not necessarily groundbreaking takes enough risks to be described as "inventive".
