About this business
This seasonal restaurant serves delicious American fare, with a twist of Italian and French. The very French name means to relax, release tensions and form good relations. That's exactly what patrons do here, in an attentive and casual ambiance. The staff is polite, efficient and knows when to leave you alone. Enjoy a meal with Island Lobster and Marrow Raviolis to start, followed by the Roasted Half Chicken and the tempting Warm Valrhona Chocolate Cake for dessert.

Down from my prior 5-star review a couple years ago. Service was great, food no longer up my alley. With a couple exceptions, the flavors were too bold and strong, multiple layers, intense seasoning, masking to some extent the essence of the food. This is summer when things are at their freshest, this would be a time to let the base ingredients shine. The best part of the meal was the cornbread. The arugula and endive salad was almost inedible, so much going on with it. We also liked the tuna tartare, and in particular loved... read more
Absolutely the best meal I can remember.

Love this place. Al fresco is delightful (except when too hot!), upstairs is quiet, first-rate cuisine, attentive servers. One of the Vineyard’s very best. Try their taleggio-peach salad.
First of all, the food quality was very good. However, the restaurant has a major process problem and neglects the patron. My wife and I were seated promptly at the time of our reservation, but we waited 1 hour between the starter and the main course, which makes it impossible to enjoy the meal. The server realized we were dissatisfied, and the hostess/manager turned her back on us as we left pretending not to see us. This restaurant has great potential, but has major issues. Beware!
