The Danny Meyer reception was as faultlessly warm as it is in his other restaurants. The room is comfortable, quiet, and tasteful. The crowd was relatively hip. Our waiter was Midwestern in his friendliness.
Appetizers were great: nice chicken liver spread thinly on toast and spaghetti alle vongole with the freshest, plumpest, tastiest clams I have ever eaten. Mains were just as good: a fish stew and a perfectly cooked piece of trout with fresh peas, mushrooms, and edible flowers.
There's a lunch prix-fixe which is a good deal ($35 for two dishes plus biscotti).
Wine selection was excellent with some glasses at $9, which is nice when most places start you out at $12.
Grade: A+
