This aptly named treasure anchors the village’s west end and is just steps away from the Melody Tent. Inside, you’ll enter a bygone era but with a modern twist. Owners Jen Villa and Blane Toedt have transformed the century-old building into a vintage delight designed for making memories over dinner—and even hosting the occasional wedding. “We’re a celebratory place,” Toedt says.
FLAVOR:
Sure, you could grab a burger. But why not be bold? Go for the porcini-glazed Long Island duck or the seared tuna served over beans and roasted artichokes. Aim even higher and split the famous $99 seafood tower. Early riser? Cinnamon crunch French toast pairs well with live jazz brunch on Sundays. Grab a negroni or an old fashioned and get lost in the music.
VIBE:
A speakeasy whose secret is out. Elegant yet casual, with “all the magical elements of stepping back in time,” Villa says. No jacket required—unless, of course, you’re here to swap marriage vows.
