Fodor's Review:

This elegant yet laid-back eatery—said to be the best in town—has been around for decades, attracting celebrities like Paul Newman. Main dishes such as rack of lamb in an oyster and mushroom cream sauce, and grilled diver scallops with curried sweet-corn sauce are not to be missed. The verdant patio is a wonderful place to have Sunday brunch.
