Opposite the Old Campus, on Chapel Street, in New Haven, Connecticut; first settled by Native Americans before memory or record; planted by Puritans in 1638; home to Roger Sherman throughout the War of Independence; the Gaius F. Warner mansion by Henry Austin in 1860; Carll's Opera House in 1880; the Republican League club in 1884; the Hyperion theatre in 1887; the Union League club by Richard Williams in 1903; the Roger Sherman Theater in 1926; a succession of French fine dining restaurants beginning in 1977 that continues today… although the Roger Sherman house is no longer standing, its foundation endures.
"Tables, covered with butcher paper in traditional brasserie fashion, are comfortably spaced for privacy, and banquettes invite discreet cuddling. The service is appropriately reserved but not stiff, and the room is lively but contained."
