Bar seating and ledge-leaning is the rule of thumb -- think Paris tabac or the zinc -- the heat of local life, crowded with regulars at the counter waiting for their vin rouge. Here you'll find our Cave à Manger, an eclectic curation of wines by the glass offered with a menu of small plated savory delicacies created for this tasting smorgasbord. More than an amuse-bouche, less than a serving. Range, variety, exploration and discovery are the point...........................................RESERVATIONS ARE RECOMMENDED BUT, IF YOU DON'T SEE ANY AVAILABILITY, JUST WALK-IN FOR THE NEXT SEAT AVAILABLE.

My family and I enjoyed a lovely meal for Christmas Eve after church. Although our reservation was for 7 we arrived about 15 minutes early and were seated right away. The staff were attentive and constantly came to the table to offer drinks, more bread, and filled up water glasses. We ordered paella, mussels, ribeye, scallops and seafood pasta. All were delicious. The restaurant seemed busy so it did take a little longer to get food but we were offered a deliciousness custard desert on the house for our wait.

My wife and I came in for Christmas Eve dinner. She ordered the Sea Bass Specoal with a bowl of Hot Carrot soup and ice tea. I had the Turkey Dinner also with Hot Carrot soup. For dessert we shared the Pecan pie a la mode. Everything was delicious.
