The rich cooking, nouvelle and bourgeoise, and the friendly staff add up to delightful if fairly expensive dinners. Good starters are the creamed wild-mushroom soup and the goujonettes of Dover sole, the crisply fried ribbons of fish bedded down on greens and topped with a creamy vinaigrette dressing.
