I worry that it won't survive the winter. \n\nI have visited weekly for the last three weeks. It has been superb every time. The food is first-rate and the service is very attentive. This evening I had the braised lamb shank on a bed of squash puree. The two previous times I had the duck confit and mushroom risotto. On all occasions I drank the Cotes du Rhone by the glass--delicious!\n\nThe menu is a bit eclectic, which may be why it isn't drawing a strong crowd. Perhaps it needs a stronger ethnic or food trend identity.\n\nIf you're on Elm Street, skip over the passionless and over-priced Italian options and give the Elm Tree a try."^^ .
