After 3 years living in this hood and a couple of trips here for drinks, I finally did a summer dinner on the patio.
This place has wonderful ambiance - inside (restored wood, elevated ceilings) and out (gorgeous patio with flowers, white tablecloths, cobblestone) - and a good wine list. Great first impressions - felt like I was on vacation. This elevates my review by one star.
Had the Lobster Gnocci ($18) and Capon Breast ($26), with a glass of Petite Syrah ($12).
My friend and me had a great evening, but at the price point, the quality of the food and service could be elevated.
I found the flavours in both the capon and lobster gnocchi to be bland - a bit disappointing for the nice presentation. Capon was served with roasted fall-type veggies (in the summer) and just. I just wasn't impressed. The service was friendly but slow.
The wine was excellent and flavorful, and well priced for a good California red.
I hear the brunch is fantastic here - that may be where the value is. Otherwise, it could be a lovely night out, but just be wary of the price point - a tad high for what you get.
