The atmosphere is so quaint and welcoming, and the staff pleasant and attentive. Ordered off the Restaurant Week lunch menu. Started with a Field Greens & d'Anjour Pear Vinaigrette Salad which was very tasty, but then it's pretty hard to screw up a salad. The Braised Prime Beef Short Ribs Rigatoni was outstandingly good and one of the best pasta dishes I think I've ever had. The pasta was a perfect al dente and the meat was melt-in-your-mouth tender, but the sauce was indescribably rich and savory and if I hadn't been too embarrassed, I would have asked for a spoon just to ensure to get every last drop. I look forward to returning to try a number of other options from their regular menu, but in the meantime will think about the rigatoni with fond memories.
