Description:

• The Scene
  The aroma of hearty home cooking fills the small, subterranean space lined with plaid wallpaper. Relaxed neighborhooders treat the spot like a second home, calling the staff by name and lingering despite the smallish bar and hurried courses.
  
  The Food
  Don't expect many surprises; comfort and familiarity are the specialties on the all-American menu. There are a few creative touches, however, like tiny pasta tubes lending texture to sesame-tinged tuna tartare, or lobster chunks enriching the macaroni and cheese. Reliable burgers hit the spot, and even light eaters will be well served by a lemony sole with two little scoops of mashed potatoes. Desserts like chocolate pudding or a brownie covered in caramel sauce and vanilla ice cream are made daily.
