“ Good solid food here in a warm and cozy atmosphere without pretense. Their signature appetizer is the twice baked goats cheese souffle w/apple, celery, fennel salad, is so light and wonderful. The beet salad has a good balance of Bermuda Triangle cheese with Blue Lake beans and hazlenuts in a light sherry vinaigrette. The Pork Osso Bucco was tender and fell off the bone and was served with Polenta with pearl onions and roasted root vegetables gremolata. I had to use a spoon to get every bit of the polenta. You won't be able to finish the meat if you want to have dessert, so doggie bag it and order the Lemon tart. It is the perfect combination of tart to sweet, which is difficult to find. The apple galette w/caramel ice cream is good, but nothing to write home about.
Our server orchestrated the delivery of each course in perfect timing, and was not afraid to make a suggestion when I was torn between the Osso Bucco and the Risotto. ”
