Show us a man who's excited about where he works and we'll show you a man who probably has excited customers, too. Isaac Bancaco, partner and executive chef at Onyx Fusion Bar and Restaurant, blossoms as he talks about hazelnut-crusted mahi-mahi, carmelized sea scallops, tuna tartare and his restaurant's signature "Onyx" martini, consisting of pineapple-infused vodka (a martini that's not kidding). "We have healthy food because we're next to LA Fitness," says Bancaco; the restaurant is in the old Basketball Hall of Fame by the Connecticut River in Springfield, a site that offers attractive views of the city's skyline.
