As other reviewers have noted, it is a tiny little restaurant on the grounds of the Frick Museum and is surrounded by the gardens. Comprised of only a few tables, it has all of the charm of walking into the scene of a Jane Austen novel. You may expect to run into Mr. Darcy himself, but one look at the sleek and updated menu and you will be brought back to present day.\n\nThe Prix Fixe menu is really a steal, at $22 for soup or salad, an entree, and house made dessert (lower prices if you choose a whole or half sandwich instead of an entree). While everything was prepared perfectly and full of flavor, the star of the meal was definitely the dessert. I ordered the oatmeal biscuit (ah-ma-zing) that was topped with fresh cream and whiskey-soaked peaches. One of the best things about it was that the portions for the first two courses were portions for actual humans and not blown up for some mythical giant like most American restaurants, so I actually had room left to enjoy every bite of this sweet ending to the meal. Don't get me wrong, the rest of the food was certainly memorable. I started with the soup of the day, which was a honeydew and basil gazpacho and super refreshing on a hot summer day. My entree was the hanger steak, which was perfectly cooked and served over a mushroom risotto that was earthy, rich, and delicious. Everyone at our table of 7 thoroughly enjoyed their experience.\n\nAfter trying the main menu, I can't wait to go back and check out the high tea! Perhaps for a twist I'll throw on a petticoat and see if I can't convince my very own Mr. Darcy to join me :)"^^ . "4"^^ . "5"^^ . . .
