| This former carriage house, owned and run by Omar Boukhriss (who also owns the continental-inspired Voilà around the corner and The Pagoda nearby on the water), is a historic building site in Norfolk. While the specials on the menu change with the seasons, some retain Moroccan accents. The fried green tomatoes Benedict is a brunch winner, as are the classics: french toast (order the bland strawberry purée on the side) and omelets. For dinner, we recommend the mussels a la Provençale, potato-encrusted flounder or Smithfield pork osso buco. On Monday nights look for the Moroccan menu that features chicken or lamb tagine, kebabs and stuffed trout (complete with head and tail) over couscous. Service is friendly and attentive in this cozy restaurant, with its cheerful slip-covered chairs, multi-patterned serviettes and fresh flowers on every table. Ongoing wine dinners are a special delight. |
