Restaurant Directory

The welcoming restaurant, complete with an excellent wine shop, is one of the region’s best-kept dining secrets. In a historic brick building in the center of old-town Auburn, it’s a convivial meeting place for locals who gather at the handsome wood bar and couples seeking a romantic dinner. Eric Alexander, the dynamic young chef, has a stellar reputation for innovative, locally focused cuisine. Two menus—one for the wine bar, the other for the dining room—change frequently. Look for specialties such as seared dayboat scallops with pork belly, rhubarb and pea sprouts; and bacon-wrapped pork tenderloin with fava bean cassoulet.
