"Tried this for place for the first time this weekend, and had a great experience.\n\nIt's a small, casual place with a modern, mildly upscale menu (priced quite reasonably). \n\nThere were four of us, and we sampled food and drink pretty broadly. Wine, beer, and a couple cocktails... All solid. \n\nFor starters, we tried a couple of the boards - cheese-sausage and cheese. The cheese board was essentially what one might expect. Sample of cheeses, apples, nuts, and olive tapenade. The sausage-cheese board was essentially a sliced brat, cheese fondue, and some very yummy pickled vegetables. Overall, these were just ok.\n\nFor entrees, my wife got the gniocchi and I ordered risotto. F---. me. Both were ridiculously good... Though I have to admit she made the better choice. The gniocchi had perfect texture and was served in a delicious tomato based sauce with wilted greens (spinach?) and this killer roasted pork. The risotto was was no slouch. Al dente with duck confit, mushrooms, and truffle salt - topped, of course with some shaved parm. Yum.\n\nDesert was top notch as well. Bread pudding... A la mode, of course. Buttery, not too sweet with the all-important-for-bread-pudding perfect texture.\n\nService was friendly and made you feel right at home.\n\nWe'll definitely be back soon. It's a great place to have a nice, leisurely paced meal with friends. Good drinks. Delicious entrees. Great service. No hint of snotty prentiousness that often goes with this kind of menu."^^ .
