MICHELIN Guide's Point Of View

Bib Gourmand: good quality, good value cooking

Spread over two spaces, including a small chef's counter space and the dining room with communal seating next door, Ruffian changes its menu quarterly to focus on a different Eastern European region. Past menus have focused on Austria, Hungary, the Republic of Georgia, and Macedonia among other spots, and wine is always spotlighted. Recent highlights have smoked trout mousse sandwiched between squares of lemon pound cake for a dish that is equal parts smoky, earthy, and sweet. A half-moon shaped pie crust studded with roasted shredded duck is a comforting dish served alongside a bright salad of mixed greens and diced orange in a citrus vinaigrette.Popular with industry types, it's wise to make reservations, or be prepared to wait.
