Horrid! A new "chef" and bad service turned a favorite into a disaster. Endless delays in the kitchen, mixed-up orders, trying to pass-off ham as chorizo, entrees that are cold in the middle, etc. Avoid at all costs unless they get back on track. UPDATE: PROPERTY NOW CLOSED.
An incredible find in Putnam that offers a vast menu of classic French favorites including pate, cassoulet, duck confit, steak tartare, various moules (mussels), beautiful salads, and much more. This is a menu we could revisit many times and never grow tired of it. Our meals were simply perfect (except for red wine served too warm); the service was friendly and efficient; and the setting comfortable and visually appealing. Highly recommended!
Unpretentious yet upscale Continental cuisine served in a welcoming setting. Extensive menu specials compliment a robust regular menu. Veal dishes abound. Wait staff is friendly and capable though unpolished and somewhat inconsistent. Our return visit with a larger party was equally satisfying. Still more good choices left to explore on the menu. We'll be back.

Disappointing. Limited menu offers only few wild game dishes and seems confused as to whether it wants to be a small plate or regular ala carte menu. Portions could be more generous. Preparation could use more attention and less pretension. Wait staff is friendly but needs more polish (e.g., don't disappear for prolonged periods) and more knowledge of what the kitchen and bar are doing. Cocktail prices are very high.
