1.   All of the main courses sampled were good, especially the succulent braised beef short ribs in a sherry-spiked broth along with horseradish mashed potatoes.

2.   Customers came for her lusty tempura-battered green beans, succulent braised beef cheeks and summer pudding saturated with sweet berries.

3.   Dinners are three-course gourmet affairs that include cream of tomato soup, stuffed squash, lentil pilaf and braised beef.

4.   Grilled salmon arrives on a ragout of heirloom beans, and braised beef short ribs are served with glazed root vegetables and a marrow flan.

5.   Had the weather been cooler, I would have made braised beef short ribs with coffee gravy.

6.   Next, braised beef with mushrooms and barley, a great way to take a fairly inexpensive beef chuck roast and make it special.

7.   The best offering is a beautiful bowl of spicy egg noodles with tender braised beef and curls of spinach.

8.   The braised beef with zinfandel and winter vegetables sounded terrific, but it would need to wait for the cool weather and all the root vegetables to return.
