Price Description

Chandeliers, dark woods and inconspicuous front and back patios provide the elegant and upscale atmosphere to this chic yet unpretentious dining lounge. Standouts on the Continental menu include stilton-stuffed burger, Cornish hen with du Puy lentil salad, and spicy baked mac ’n’ cheese (made with Sao Miguel, cheddar, Swiss and parm-regg). And, as the name suggests, choosey cheese lovers find options in a wide variety of unripened and hard cheeses, served straight up or as part of two fondues. A comprehensive wine list rounds out the offerings. Mains $14–$30.
