Definitely a place for foodies who like atmosphere. I figured someone on FT might have eaten there. Interesting building(s) from the 1860's updated in the 20's or 30's by the guy that invented Lifesavers candy.
I love how the place smells of woodsmoke on a cold rainy night. They have a great section of "small dishes" on the menu - bigger than an appetizer, smaller than an entree. I almost went for the venison sausage small plate, but had to order something with asparagus when I spotted it. I wish I could squeeze a couple meals there on my expense report, but more than one a week would be pushing it. If only I could be satisfied with a cheaper glass of wine.
