Bar Libretto has consistently provided delicious dishes that you can share, though you won't necessarily want to. The asparagus special is delightful and the duck risotto is always good. Tried the desserts this time and they were really good. The lightest lemon tart ever, and a sweet creme caramel. Well worth going in and trying as many dishes as you can. And ask for a wine suggestion as they are very helpful. Good value too.
