Great atmosphere, friendly staff and spendid food. Although busy, the staff was speedy and engaing from the start. The food was outstanding. The starters were simple, flavorful and satisfying. Try the fries or the meatball sliders. They were well priced, and returned quickly. The pear salad was excellent, while the bean soup was rich but not heavy. The added goat cheese and pesto in the soup really rounded out the dish. Our main courses (the chicken for my wife and the pork w/ risotto for myself) took some time to reach us, but with our conversation and people watching the extended time was barely noticed. The food was WORTH the wait. The chicken was tender, juicy and like no chicken you purchase in the store. It really tasted like chicken is supposed to. Simple with a depth of flavor you would expect in a much more expensive French spot. My pork was even better! The risotto was prepared properly, not too soupy nor too tough. As Goldie Locks would say, "just right." But the true flavor surprise was the pork itself. Literally melt in your mouth. As a local international celebrity walked by, I sat there looking at my plate and realized this pork was really something special. I barely looked up from my gluttony. Two further things of note: the baretender was more knowledgable about the food and far more friendly than nearly any normal dining-room server we have experience in other restaurants AND the beer/drink list is broad enough to keep you interested. My wife and I will definately return.
