The tables are covered with white linen and white butcher paper and decorated with a single tea light. No salt or pepper shakers. In fact, there are no flowers anywhere in the place, that I could see. Warm bread arrives in a wire basket, along with a pot of butter and glasses of ice water in which thin slices of lemon float. Someone had the good taste to put a CD by Dinah Washington on the sound system.
Service is excellent.
It's not always easy dealing with the public, especially when people are as picky as I am. But our waitress was as gracious as possible, full of good cheer, taking swift care of my requests, and boxing up our many leftovers, then keeping them warm until we left. The wine list is adequate, with 38 wines - eight chardonnays, four pinot noirs, three zinfandels, five cabernet sauvignons, and so on. Most categories offer one wine by the glass, and it's usually the least expensive. I wished some of the better wines were offered by the glass, even if the glass cost a bit more.
