Really solid restaurant. The kitchen has a lot of talent and the service is friendly and welcoming. I enjoyed the lamb bolognese very much, and my wife had the scallops with onion risotto (also very good). The starters, roasted beet salad and a set of oysters, all very delicious. We shared an apple tart tartin for desert, which was a tad sweet for my tastes.
The only caution is the portions are HUGE. Normally that would be the sign of a weak menu, but the quality is as notable as the quantity. Be prepared to take stuff home or share an entree -- which is what we'll do next time.
