Modern French food. Chef Andrew Garbarino says, “French food is the love of my life, but I’m a modernist at heart.”
Former Post-Gazette dining critic Melissa McCart recommended the lamb-wrapped lamb chop ($36), “a rustic presentation on the bone, paired with sous vide technique in cooking lamb sausage that jackets the chop.” She also liked the ever-changing vegetarian selection ($28) because “no two diners get the same dish.”
