The Michelin Guide's review
Just down the street from Rose’s Luxury and Pineapple and Pearls, this intimate boîte is yet another feather in the same restaurant group’s proverbial cap. Possessing all the charm of a carriage house, the dining room is closer to a sun room encased in glass with expansive views of the green surroundings. This is cooking that is prepared with panache while leaning on the seasons (think butter-poached oysters with fried potatoes and seaweed remoulade or strawberry shortcake with basil). The menu is a revolving door of ideas, except for the signature angel egg amuse-bouche. An eclectic wine list makes for a thoughtful pairing. In total, dinner here goes for less than other tasting menus in town, but with no less boldness, care and creativity.
