Frommer's Review

A highly visible location directly on the main pedestrian street no doubt helps keep this restaurant and wine bar full, but the management leaves little to chance. Live jazz is presented nightly from 7 until about 10pm, making this a comfortable place for singles as well as couples and groups (and a special treat on snowy Sunday nights, when many other restaurants are closed). Food is put together well and generously portioned. Lamb is the house specialty and comes in six iterations, including a rack of lamb with Dijon mustard, rosemary, and thyme. Other options include bison medallion, tiger shrimp in Grand Marnier sauce, and goat-cheese ravioli. On summer nights, candle flames flicker in river breezes that flow in through the tall front and side windows flung wide. A handsome horseshoe-shaped bar with a dozen stools boasts walls stacked with bottles of wine and single-malt scotches; ceiling fans twirl gently overhead.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
