    One of the most carefully curated wine lists within the area. There’s a great mix of classical appellations and producers, along with, highlights of new talent and fresh styles of vinification. A lot of credit to Scott, whose affability and knowledge can always be counted on. Ledger is the perfect pairing for a wine afficanado of any standing. Food-wise, I’m always a fan of the Tuna Tartare and the Duck. I also highly recommend whatever the seasonal desert is.

    Always a favorite. Never disappoints. We like to sit in the bar/ lounge area and people watch. Great atmosphere and great food. We always get the crab cocktail and the tenderloin with the risotto. We love the dim lighting and the well made cocktails. This has been one of our favorite places to go to for years.

    One of THE BEST restaurants I’ve been to. I’m new-ish to the area, but my man and I go to “all” the places around….this was a Holiday lunch w my mom, so a whole new vibe w mom, of course! We couldn’t have had a better meal, timing (properly spaced meals), cocktails, coffee and dessert(we almost never get dessert!). Everything was PERFECT. Yulia, our server was kind, courteous, knowledgeable, and on point!!!! My mom and I have already planned our trip back!
