Owned by the same folks who operate the stellar Village Pub in Woodside, it’s clear you’re in capable hands right from the start. The converted 1930s auto barn could feel industrial, but is softened by flattering lighting, chocolate brown banquettes, and oversized faux ostrich-skin chairs. Every seat is a winner—all the better for viewing the animated and stylish crowd. The offerings range from the straightforward: sage-roasted chicken, hamburger with perfectly crisp fries, and mussels sold by the pound, to the sophisticated: red endive and pear salad, medallions of foie gras, and the melt-in-your-mouth Mediterranean sea bass. The unfussy bar menu is available in the main dining room as well, contributing to the neighborhood feel of the place, and the adjoining café offers sweet and savory treats to go.
