Gift Tips
- Save room for dessert — the coconut pecan cake is a standout and frequently recommended as a must-try.
- Try the hanger steak or steak frites if you want a reliably excellent entrée; several guests call the hanger steak one of the best they've had.
- Order the trout (Trout Almondine) or the fish paillard for a lighter, well-executed fish dish with crisped skin and brown-butter notes.
- If you don't have a reservation, plan to sit at the bar — the bartenders (Chris and Nathan are both named for their great service) craft cocktails off-menu and pairings on the spot.
- Start with shareable dishes like escargot, mussels, or the salmon tartine to sample the kitchen's French approach before moving to larger plates.
- Ask about the seasonal specials and off-menu drinks for a more personalized dining experience.
