J C Wine Cellars

This charming restuarant, housed in a former auto repair shop, provides extraordinarily fine food, well presented, in an elegant atmosphere.   I always try to have dinner here when I visit the area.  The pork osso bucco (my favorite), the crab cakes and the filet mignon are all excellent.  The wines produced by the cellar will not overtake Napa anytime soon, but they are pleasant and straightforward.  There are plenty of reasonably priced choices produced elsewhere on the list as well.  The waitstaff is always professional and friendly, no more so than when we held my mother's 90th birthday at the restaurant.  My only cavil is that there are times when the live music, sometimes presented, is obtrusive.  I would have happily lived the rest of my life without hearing a cover of Bread's "Guitar Man."
