DOWNTOWN.   Located in the historic Dodd-Hinsdale House, Second Empire features a pristine dining room, with a fireplace, graceful arch doorways and crème-colored walls. Select a bottle of wine from the award-winning list, and be prepared to savor elaborate Continental classics, such as the wild boar rack and braised pork cheek duet with root vegetable puree, crispy corn potatoes and caramelized Belgian endive. The casual wood-paneled tavern's a popular spot to sip a martini or enjoy a less formal meal.   (© 10Best)

This restaurant NEVER disappoints!
This is our favorite place for special occasions. The ambiance is wonderful and romantic, the service perfect and unobtrusive, and the food is just a feast for the eyes and palette. I have yet to order and appetizer, entree or dessert that did not absolutely delight me, and I'm a tough customer. I worked 25 years in fine dining in NY. Just love this place!
