Type of Meals Served:
The food here has a lightness in style that runs through almost everything here. The raw materials are good and fresh, the cooking straightforward and uncomplicated by too many ingredients, and presented beautifully. The appetizer collection is varied enough to make it possible to have a good meal of only those, especially if a pasta course is included. The soups and salads are especially good. The Friday night osso buco special is a contender for best version of that dish in town. (It also differs from the rest of the menu in being a massive meal.)
Reservations:
no
Great food, fine service, simple wine selection, reasonably rapid food delivery. Hard to beat the softshells this time of year, and a great seafood cream sauce on the pasta. Try the oysters almondine for something different, and the herb butter with the hot bread is a nice touch. For a really good meal at a reasonable price, come on uptown.
