Fodor's Review:

This casually elegant restaurant -- complete with a romantic fireplace and a tranquil patio -- pioneered contemporary American cuisine in what was once strictly meat-and-potatoes territory. Dinner might start with seared foie gras with caramelized mangos or ethereal deep-fried oysters, followed by wild salmon in a mustard beurre blanc or a rosy rack of lamb. Sate your sweet tooth with warm brioche bread pudding with crème anglaise or a refreshing cassis granita.
