Editorial Review
You won't find preening, trendy old-timeyness here--just authentic 18th-Century-referencing, and decidedly masculine charms: gas lanterns, black Windsor chairs, a thirty-foot walnut bar and a coal bucket fireplace. Former Sepia chef Kendal Duque decidedly straddles tradition and innovation; indeed, where else might you sample such glories as sunchoke velvet soup with braised oxtail and marrow dumpling or fish and shellfish pie with fennel, lobster-sherry sauce and potato crust? A beer selection just shy of a hundred bottles should keep the punters coming back again and again.
