Frommer's Review

The best restaurant downtown balances homey charm with sophisticated, seasonally inspired dishes. Vibrant bouquets, large framed watercolors, and windows overlooking busy Lincoln Avenue soften the look of the black-and-white checkered flooring, brick red ceiling, and long, black wine bar. The laid-back service makes what arrives on the plate -- such as crispy skin chicken with white truffle chicken jus or herb-roasted monkfish with fennel nage -- that much more of a delicious surprise. More than 400 wines are available from their adjoining wine shop. (Buy next door, pay the $15 corkage fee, and you're still drinking for far less than at most restaurants.) Alas, the kitchen was a wee slow on my last visit, but all was forgiven when the food far surpassed my expectations.

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.
