Simply lovely. A lot has changed since the other reviewers ate here.
1) No more tasting menu - I was dissapointed as this is why I went (and its still mentioned on the web site)
2) They don't seem to be emphasizing local sourcing - on the menu there was only the mention of some local eggs for the creme brulee dessert
3) Focus on lower priced dishes - I was apprehensive at the prices, they are amazingly low
In any case - dinner was delightful. Our overly friendly waiter which the rest of the table loved, did an overall great job. Everyone at the table was delighted at all the food we ordered - and we did the full on meal. From appetizers to soup to entree including sides and desserts. The waiter also recommended are a resonably priced ($50/bottle) that was excellent.
And yes, the room itself is very charming and when we sat down I asked the host about the place and he told us all about the history of the space.
At about 8pm on a rainy Thursday night it was just us and two other tables. I hope they get more business since this is a great independent restaurant that deserves to thrive.
