The same family that owns Ananda also now owns Peerce's. Haven't tried it yet, but given my similar lack of enthusiasm about the Ambassador when it was run by them, I'm not in a rush to trek out there. I did, however, use to really enjoy the upscale Lebanese restaurant they used to run in the Carlyle on University called the Carlyle Club. That's one place I really miss.

The Wine Source in Hampden carries lovely baguettes and boules (round loaves of crusty bread) as well as some pastries on weekend mornings. I'm not sure who bakes them but they're always fresh and amazing.
