Fodor's Review:

This dining room with Early American paintings and a fireplace could easily be a room in the White House. But all the gentility of this 19th-century town house-restaurant is offset by the down-to-earth food on the menu, which changes daily. The soups, including the seafood stew, are flavorful. Rack of lamb and fillet of beef are specialties, and the seafood dishes are excellent. Service is fluid and attentive. Bread pudding and crème brûlée are sweet finishes.
