Unless you've read about this place, you'll enter into a place that looks like a wine shop that sells very good wines, but if you look closely behind the counter where the registers are, you'll notice tables and a tasting bar. We entered early with the intent of tasting wines so we made our way onto the bar stools for a wine tasting. It was still before the lunch hour and we were the only customers. We tasted and bought a couple of bottle and left. We returned shortly before noon, looking for a place for lunch. We were in for a great surprise. Given the time of year, the chef was taking advantage of the asparagus that was available and his talent shown through. The asparagus based soup was followed up with another plate with fresh asparagus and a fish (which was incredibly prepared) that were beyond what one can expect from a vegetable that I am not usually fond of, but these preparations were in the hands of a master. For the main dish, my wife and I had the "filet" of pork . . . wow! The flavor of the pork cooked to just barely beyond medium rare was fantastic. I deferred on the wine pairings because of our earlier tastings, but my wife indulged and the wine pairings were great. In fact, they offered to change the one wine because she had tasted it during our visit earlier in the morning. The pairings are done with thought and awareness of your dining choices. The overall atmosphere and environment are great, sitting below the rustic beams in a small dining room that looked to be at capacity with 20 diners. You should probably have a reservation to ensure a table for lunch. This was a pleasurable surprise!
