Really good, local American bistro food at reasonable prices in Chatham, NY. The bar downstairs is fun & funky for a cocktail. I love the curried chickpea stew - it's a great option for vegetarians (and so yummy non-vegetarians will like it too). Non vegetarians should try the meatloaf topped with bacon.
