Fodor's Review:

Wood, brass, and sumptuous carpeting surround diners in this 1920 gas station-turned-restaurant. Specialties on the regularly changing menu could include superb crab cakes with rémoulade, a wonderfully spicy shrimp dish from Mozambique, and crispy roast duckling with an orange-cognac sauce. For dessert there's crème brûlée. An extensive international wine list includes vintages ranging from an Australian cabernet-shiraz blend to a South African merlot and, of course, numerous selections from France and California. Opera season—typically February and March—is the only time Sunday dinner is served.
