There's a reason Pauline's has been around forever. Good food, good service, good ambiance. The menu is great and they use as many locally grown ingredients as they can. Servers are extremely knowledgeable and helpful. The wine list is superb -- and again the servers give excellent guidance. The only quibble: they tend to take exceptional ingredients and then mask their unique flavors with gloppy sauces. The sauces are good in their own right, but it's overkill. The casual atmosphere -- you can be as dressed up or down as you like -- is also lovely.
