Fodor's Review:

Chef-owner Raymond Chen was the lead line cook at New York City's The Mercer Kitchen under Jean-Georges Vongerichten before opening this local-ingredient-friendly restaurant. Like Dorset's other eateries, you'll find traditional floral wallpaper and soft classical music; but that's where the similarities end. Chen's dishes are skillful and practiced, starting with an amuse-bouche like brandade (salt cod) over pesto. French influences are evident in the sautéed mushrooms and mascarpone ravioli in white truffle oil. Asian notes are evident, too, as in the lemongrass ginger soup with shiitake mushrooms that's ladled over grilled shrimp. A tavern serves enticing, inexpensive small dishes.
