We arrived early (5:30pm) on a Monday evening in August with 2 professional adults and a 17mo old toddler. We got a table with a highchair right away. Staff was friendly and accommodating. Our food was served immediately, before we could even sip our wine! Halibut steak on special was absolutely delicious, although the cooked greens were a bit salty. My husband had rabbit ragu; the portion was large and he could only eat half; he liked it but found it to be surprisingly cheesy and also on the salty side. The wine list was superb, and hence made us quite forgiving about any foodie quibbles. What was not so superb was the clientele. I have never felt so uncomfortable at a restaurant with a child (and we dine out often); our toddler was well behaved but some patrons seemed very displeased to even see a child in a restaurant. We ended up eating quickly, packing up our remaining half bottle of wine, and not getting a chance to enjoy the quaint atmosphere. Even if you are sans child/children be prepared for some serious pretension.
