Chef Townsend Wentz has been around the block a bit when it comes to the restaurant business. His latest project offers diners a French experience with a distinctively upscale environment. The place isn't stuffy, however, but rather comfortably refined. The menu is not huge, but it delivers on both flavor and interest and is never the same place twice. Feed your inner foodie with options such as foie gras mousse, beef tartare, braised oxtail risotto, pan rated magret duck breast or lamb en cocotte. You'll also want to take advantage of their detailed wine list that pairs perfectly with their delicious cuisine options.
