Bar? Restaurant? That’s between you and your parfait. This charming 35-seater hums with the easy hospitality of a team that loves what they do, and it knows how to make you feel loved, too. Dishes hit that blessed zone between familiar and fresh.

Chicken liver parfait fills a golden cannoli shell, devilled eggs are piped just so, and coq au vin is as glossy and seriously satisfying as you’d expect. Even the humble crumble feels special, prinked with silken mascarpone. An ever-changing cocktail list is a revelation, built from a precious backbar packing everything from peach mead to amaro perfumed with High Country daisies.

There’s generosity at every level: on the plate, behind the bar, and in the way you’re made to feel involved from the moment you walk in. It’s the bar-bistro hybrid others are trying to nail.
