Feel-good thoughts <strong>of</strong> days<br />
gone by come to life in this refined<br />
historic restaurant, defined<br />
by oriental rugs and original<br />
artwork. In <strong>the</strong> lobby,<br />
check out <strong>the</strong> John Peirce<br />
painting <strong>of</strong> this charming fourcorners<br />
site, and you’ll see it<br />
hasn’t changed much since <strong>the</strong><br />
1700s. Rustic fireplaces fuel an<br />
all-is-well glow. Stand-out entrées:<br />
One-Half Pound Maryland<br />
Crab Cake with warm redskin<br />
potato salad, sweet<br />
pepper slaw, and lemon-tarragon<br />
tartar sauce; and Seared<br />
Boneless Duck Breast with<br />
roasted garlic and potato<br />
purée, baby endive and truffled<br />
duck reduction. You’ll<br />
find a perfect wine match from<br />
<strong>the</strong> extensive wine list. Traditional<br />
or cutting edge, that’s always<br />
a plus.<br />

cream sauce, Porcini Ravioli<br />
in a white wine sauce, Filet<br />
Mignon with sautéed crimini<br />
mushrooms, and Pork Napoleon,<br />
a grilled tenderloin<br />
stuffed with sundried tomatoes<br />
and portobellas, among o<strong>the</strong>r<br />
