Intimate dining spot featuring French-inspired cuisine, a wine list & a seasonal patio.
"WHAT: An unassuming eight-seat French bistro in Western Mass, aka the escape from city life for husband and wife chef-owner team Michaelangelo Wescott and Ami Aubin. Its cozy quarters make up one of the few remaining respites where consistency, creativity, and hospitality are given equal weight.
WHY: While the menu nods to nostalgia (duck confit, house-cured gravlax), Wescott lets his mood dictate the eclectic daily specials, which can range from hand-torn pasta to scrapple with duck egg to house-made ramen. Wintertime brings a deep braise of local pork shank with thick berry jus, the just reward for braving ice-slicked roads. In summer, fresh trout and metallic local cheeses stud a stack of tomatoes still warm from the country sun. Come once and you’re a regular for life." [Eater]
