It has traded its ten-course tasting menu for a more manageable, yet just as fulfilling, four-course spread, with gorgeous indulgences like Japanese-style mushroom custard and ethereal gnocchi, plus plenty of extra snacks and gifts from the kitchen. Diners are encouraged to […]

Everyone should have a cocktail in hand, of course. Then start with Parker House rolls slathered with an array of accompaniments. (Try foie gras and grape jam.) […]

The Modern American dishes satisfy, […]
