Frommer's Review

In high season, it's difficult to get a reservation at this small restaurant. There's very good buzz on this intimate and cozy spot, which takes its name from the French word for relaxation and good relations. The theme for the menu here is seasonal specials featuring foods from local farms and markets. For starters, you can go light, with a spring watercress and spiced pecan salad, or heavy, with island lobster ravioli. The main courses are similarly varied, from pesto-marinated rack of lamb to orange curry-crusted monkfish. The wine list is extensive with numerous intriguing choices available by the glass.

Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip.
