Frommer's Review

This restaurant, on a pedestrian passage just uphill from the ferry landing, has no views and is a bit hard to find, which means you're more likely to dine with locals than tourists. The menu is short and changes frequently to take advantage of whatever is fresh, while the wine list is long, featuring excellent wines from all over the world. Whether you just need a few light snacks to go with a glass of wine or a filling dinner, you'll be happy. Small plates and sides make up the bulk of the offerings, so you can piece together a dinner that fits your appetite. If you spot anything with the strawberry-soy vinaigrette, give it a try. Just don't order too much before you get to dessert. I like to eat downstairs, which has a view of the open kitchen, but the quieter loft is a good place for a romantic dinner.

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.
