The SceneMaster Chef Bruce Naftaly's labor of love has proven enduringly timeless: Since 1985, this tidy French restaurant's unassuming sweetness, expert service and divine culinary precision have held diners captive. Delicate wall murals create a wonderfully light feeling that belies the building's slightly forbidding exterior. The FoodNaftaly's fastidious use of local, seasonal produce translates into a touch of revelation within each dish: A twinge of basil in the peach sauce adorning the young rabbit loin; local Merlot pressings that urge the beef tenderloin sauce to greater depths. Appetizers are just as ambitious--especially the smooth rabbit-liver pate or the sole-and-shrimp mousseline. Despite the considerable fuss, Naftaly's art comes across as down-to-earth and approachable.

Might I live here, Bruce?

This is an intimate, special occassion place, in an unlikely area,serving extaordinary artwork for the palate. We have been enjoying Bruce Naftaly's craftsmanship since one of Elliot's and my first dates--my, almost thirteen years ago.--and that reminds me: This man picking me up for what was supposed to be just ...a 'nice Dinner'(whatever that meant at the time....) Escorted me to Le Gourmand--before it had air conditioning, in a very understated neighborhood--but with good 'curb face'-Flowers, brick...It is still part of our life. It is still a dream I cherish.And one we nourish often.
