This was my third or fourth visit, most of my party's first time. We all really enjoyed everything. Great atmosphere, not too noisy, so you could actually hear conversation at the table, superb service and the food was delicious, as it always it. The shishito peppers were amazing, so much that we had 2 orders of them. My Caesar salad and Vietnamese pork buns were FABULOUS. Others had monkfish, gnocchi and tagliatelle with shrimp - we were all members of the clean plate club....
A lovely restaurant with great food and friendly staff! We enjoyed eating lunch and hope to be back soon for dinner! If you are hungry I recommend the burgers. While the other dishes are delicious the portions are rather small.
Update 2024: Food still great. Cocktails are now terrific. BUT…service is not up to snuff. Very odd how hostesses handle patrons. They are strangely condescending about seating even when many tables are empty. Strange way to run a dining room of a pretty popular restaurant. Trends seem pretty tough for pricey restaurants in off beat locations like Chester CT. RT should really try a more accommodating style at the hostess station.

2020: Always great. ...
