Fantastic overall. Here was my lineup
duck liver terrine served with brioche, dijon mustard, gherkins and brandied prunes….smooth but not too smooth, the liver was amazing, the right amount of fat and perfectly seasoned. my only complaint was that there were unequal portions of the accompaniments and brioche
braised breast of veal with mustard syrup served with spinach over papardelle….packed a punch and left me speechless, piquant, papardelle was cooked perfectly, and the breast of veal was falling apart and extremely flavorful. the mustard highlighted each mouthful and was undercut by the sweetness of the veal…overall, a homerun
finally, brioche pain perdue with glace a la vanille served with candied fennel…the brioche was a little dry but balanced well with the ice cream, the candied fennel wasn’t overpowering and helped to make it more than a starch, cream, and sugar dessert
Never judge a book by its cover...
This restaurant is quite tasty. I had passed it many times and was not impressed by the exterior — the sign is unassuming. The inside, however, was much nicer by comparison. This does certainly seem to be a suit and tie kind of place, but not oppressively so.
The food is probably best described as Mediterranean. The menu comprises things like Beef Carpaccio, Roast Duck, and things of a similar nature. Everything I had (and some that I sampled from other plates) tasted very fresh and well seasoned.
It’s probably a little pricey for students unless a special occasion, but if you can afford it, it’s worth it.

We had dinner here over Restaurant Week, which may be why the food did not live up to my expectations. The menu was certainly well thought out and sounded great, but the execution was just so-so and the flavors felt a bit flat. My friend apparently had the best fries he’d every tasted, so perhaps the kitchen was simply overwhelmed with RW customers. The dining room was very elegant – definitely a great place to take a special date.
