Fodor's Review:

The decor at this popular neighborhood restaurant can only be described as Karoo meets Tuscany, with apricot walls, white tablecloths, and beautiful old globe chairs. The menu, scribbled on a blackboard, changes daily. For starters try the mussels steamed in white wine and flavored with orange and fennel. The duck à l'orange and oxtail are two classics that keep the regulars coming back. But for something a little different, try the Norwegian salmon skewered with pickled ginger, crusted with lime and wasabi, and grilled. For dessert, indulge in the signature homemade fig-and-vanilla ice cream, made with dried figs cooked in port.

Keep in mind: Reservations essential.
