The Buttery
$$$$
Upscale but comfortable, with fine dining that's not fussy, describes this charming restaurant in the historic district. A fireplace warms the homey setting in winter, and outdoor seating in the garden is an added enticement in warmer months. Elegant dinner options may include duck-bacon-wrapped seared scallops or Cognac-braised short ribs with smoked mushroom risotto. The less expensive pub list is equally creative, with dishes such as lamb sliders and duck confit spring rolls.
