I cannot rate this restaurant high enough! It is a small dinning room so reservations are a must. I started with the French onion soup which was one of the best I’ve ever had in the US - it was a perfect size since I had ordered the beef bourguignon. The bourguignon was tender and delicious. My partner had the mac & cheese which was excellent and not large and duck confit for his main dish also delicious. Bridget runs a great dinning room and we will always come back!

Brunch before theater. The outside garden seating was a pleasant surprise on this cold November day, with a heated enclosure. The food and service was great as well. I had the chef special, grilled Morris steak, breakfast potatoes, 2 eggs, herb bearnaise - it did not disappoint and was plenty filling. My friend had the shrimp and grits which she also enjoyed. I recommend this dining establishment.
