Frommer's Review

Despite its pretentious see-and-be-seen attitude, a traipse out to this hip restaurant in a reconverted hothouse on the edge of town is well merited. The 1926 edifice with a brick smokestack stands on open green ground; it's light and spacious beneath a tented glass ceiling. You get just a couple of variations on a three-course fixed menu that changes daily (it costs extra with cheeseboard). Organic, Mediterranean-style greens and herbs come fresh from an adjacent working hothouse and garden and from the restaurant's own farm. Meat is sourced daily from nearby animal-friendly eco-producers. The seafood comes from the sea, I guess. In the kitchen, persnickety attention to detail is the norm, and service is attentive enough that the waitstaff seem to be personally acquainted with every item on your plate -- those who dine in glass houses shouldn't throw stones, but you might want to bring along a few rocks to chase waiters away.
