For over 20 years we have been known for our modern interpretations of Italian & Mediterranean cuisine. We are committed to the idea of sustainable local agriculture and feature only the freshest ingredients, emphasizing locally produced, organic and/or naturally raised products whenever possible. Wild "Chicken of the Woods" mushrooms harvested here in Connecticut, cheeses made at Cato Corner Farm in Colchester, Ice Cream from Buck's of Milford, and organic heirloom tomatoes from Starlight Farms in Durham are just a few items we regularly feature. We also feature all natural choice steaks, free of growth hormones and antibiotics. We do change our menu regularly to reflect the change of seasons and the availability of different ingredients, but if you are looking for an old favorite, we will be happy to prepare it for you as long as we have the ingredients on hand. Christopher Martins' dining room is also available for your private or semi-private function.
