The Scene
The warm, dim dining room wrapped in exposed brick is an easy place to while away an evening. Communal tables make for a convivial atmosphere. Reserve a cozy window seat for more privacy, or hop onto a stool at the bar to dine solo. Service is casual, yet precise.

The Food
Hearty, homey dishes are the draw, and appetizers, such as caramelized onion risotto and an outstanding cream of cauliflower soup with truffle oil, set the bar high. Among entrees, the Newport steak and braised lamb shank, which arrives falling off the bone into a savory mix of sausage and white beans, stand out. As does the monkfish, which virtually melts into the soft fennel and buttery lobster broth it's perched on. There's also veal saltimbocca with lettuce, prosciutto and cauliflower puree.
