I got a lovely cauliflower bisque with drizzled olive oil and lime juice and topped with chopped heirloom tomato. So good. Served with a hunk of crusty bread. A perfect light lunch.
WHITE TEA PUDDING with berries, cardamom rice, and summer herb granita
Lovely wine list
Five women shared two "toast" items (beef tartar and boratti with heirloom tomatoes), two pastas, mussels, french fries and the steak followed by warm brownie with ice cream and blackberries. Delish.
Come here for the truffle pasta, tenderloin steak tartare and heirloom tomatoes, bursts and basil. You will NOT be disappointed.
Cool decor and nice food and cocktails! Try to get a table in the library.
Everything was amazing. Highlights include, heirloom tomato salad, the octopus appetizer, lobster was perfect and finished with the 14k chocolate cake.
Wagyu (Kobe) is beef heaven, the frois grais is awesome
14k chocolate cake: words fail me, it's that good
Some of the best service I've ever had! Everyone was so friendly! Gorgeous interior. Loved the On Tap Pinot Noir and the rolled eggplant app. Can't wait to come back when we are hungrier!
Get the meatballs!!!

IFS hosts tastings on most Saturdays. Their well curated selection strikes a great balance between novelties you'll enjoy trying and affordable treats that will tie together your next meal.
They had a free wine tasting from 3-6 on Saturday. What a gem. Tried 4 great wines and the sommelier was incredibly knowledgeable. Will definitely be back for some more wine
Great selection of wines, beers and spirits plus a fun, friendly & knowledgeable team.
Definitely worth the experience. Got to choose our own tea blend and a few pastries. Waiter was so sweet and even took a picture of us at the end! Love the space, so historic and unique.
The banana bread at Afternoon Tea was the best I've ever had.
Lounge in the ladies' powder room for longer than necessary.
Great time at the bar. Excellent drinks and appetizers.
Get the fried calamari, frutti de mare and of course the tiramisu!!!!
The toughest part of Mom's brunch here will be choosing between the smoked salmon omelette, the eggs Benedict and the fried eggs with spicy pesto.
This neighborhood trattoria is known for its charming Italian staff and authentic Italian food. Be sure to try one of the nightly specials; they are always delicious. - Inspector
