A three-course meal is still a steal -- the optional $32 prix fixe menu buys such simple-but-alluring appetizers as salmon cakes with fennel coleslaw and lemon-caper remoulade, and entrees like an excellent grilled New York strip with heart-stopping mashed potatoes, mushrooms, caramelized onions and demi-glace.
And let's not forget (or forgo) the house-made desserts -- all of them made with a fresh and lush appeal.
That's surely a cheap gourmet experience, but part of its charm is that it doesn't feel cheap. In this small and sometimes noisy storefront dining room, casual simplicity is blended with sophistication.
