I found this place because it was on a list of restaurants open New Year's Day. We really enjoyed the ambience and food. The decor is original and chic, and the bar and dining room are very comfortable. There is a large open fire in the dining room that is also used for some food prep, and there is an open rotisserie that was filled with Cornish hens. As it was the day after a major holiday, the menu may have been pared down but I couldn't say for sure. It was different than what was listed online. Regardless, we all found something. There was nothing our child would like on the regular menu and the bar menu wasn't available (it looked very good) but the server brought him a large portion of noodles with cheese that was appreciated.
I had the Cornish hen and I liked it a lot. It's not something I would typically order but since it's a house specialty it seemed the better choice over scallops. My husband had the duck and it was very good. There is an assortment of fresh baked breads for the table that were delicious. I liked the sesame and the olive the best.
Our server didn't explain that the price of an entree includes a starter and dessert so we were a little confused at first when ordering. We didn't find it noisy at all and there were people seated all around us but no one was on the couches directly behind us which could possibly have made a difference.
This is a great place for a special occasion or if you are visiting from out of town. We'd definitely return.
