Great menu, local food, every dish I've had is delicious and their beer selection is always great. If you're going to pay NYC prices for food, it might as well be great food.

Boutique gourmet dining. The chef grows most of the ingredients in his rooftop garden and so the menu is limited, shifting according to the day's produce. Always a fine meal.
