With its charming front porch and big glossy windows that flood the dining space with light, dining here can feel like eating at a good friend’s home. The super-friendly staff and lively bar, where everyone seems to want to get to know you, only elevates the overall sense of bonhomie. Then there’s the possibility of live music and patio seating come summertime—it's hard not to love this "star."You may be caught off guard then, when the kitchen manages to so deftly mix local, organic ingredients into a next-level lineup of New American fare, like comforting turkey meatloaf or grilled swordfish paired with artichoke purée, fingerling potatoes and kale. Desserts are unskippable, especially the chocolate brioche bread pudding, drizzled with hazelnut sauce.
