my mom and i stumbled on this restaurant accidentally when we were looking for a place to eat, so we weren't expecting much. but, we left more than satisfied - i've been back more times than i probably should, considering i'm supposed to be living on a student budget. i've been with meat eaters, pescatarians, and vegetarians and i don't think a single person has ever had anything bad to say about appetizers, dinners, or desserts. their soups and salads are particularly well done - creative and very tasty. great oyster selection, if you're into that. also a really fantastic and decently priced wine list, and usually an interesting cocktail menu to boot. last time i went i had a strawberry sangria concoction that probably can't really claim the name sangria but was delicious nonetheless. desserts are pretty fabulous as well - i'm still raving about a summer berry bread pudding i had there maybe 2 years ago. delicious.
the service can occassionally be spotty, and for some reason people love to bring their noisy children here, but the food (and the fact that you can get a table without a reservation, usually) makes up for it.
