The ambience is wonderful. Expect to be whisked away within seconds of walking in the door. The decor is warm and romantic though alive enough to bring the whole family-children included. It also has something more important: mostly terrific food, distinguished by first-rate ingredients (the arugula here makes arugula at many other restaurants seem like iceberg in drag), clear flavors and, more often than not, superior cooking. If youre ever in doubt of what to order, Joe will recommend a bit of everything---brought out on a silver platter that looks almost as delicious as it tastes. Oh, and not to mention the choices of wines! I've been here a dozen times and each a memorable one---which will keep me going back.
