Lloyd, former executive chef of restaurant Michael Mina, offers a seasonal menu that’s discreet in its complexity, featuring the sort of dishes that seem to get better with each bite. Gropman’s wine list comprises a modest 100 bottles, but it’s a smart, well-focused selection - Wine Spectator

Love this place! Great food, great service, lovely location. We go here for special occasions (birthdays, anniversaries, etc) and would go more often but a) it's expensive, and b) it's an hour plus drive for us. Still, we always look forward to going back.

Wonderful experience...love this restaurant. The service, the food and the kind host who understood that my friend was having problems getting to the restaurant bc of traffic. My friend came and we visited for three hours. We only get to see each other once a year and we didn't realize how long we stayed. Daniel who took care of us told us to enjoy our lunch and said no worries about staying so long. I have been here many times and will continue. thank you
