A romantic evening in this rambling old house is an anachronism nowadays, when raucous restaurants are the norm. With Michelle Barnsteiner on the floor and her husband, Herbert, in the kitchen, it feels like the country house of two welcoming friends. Although the menu plays it safe with standards from France and Italy, each dish is expertly prepared and plated. Dazzling desserts include a delicate lemon tart paired with passion fruit semifreddo and caramelized pineapple. The wine list favours the New World. Service is a little stiff. Mains $19–$29.
