This new-ish restaurant - at least it is to us - epitomizes comfort food; the place itself is comfortable, even the neighborhood is comfortable.
Sometimes when I hear a restaurant described as serving "comfort food", I think it's a term that's often used in a somewhat denigrating way, almost as though the reviewer is saying "well, they don't serve top of the line food here, but at least it's pleasant, even comforting."
Dobbs Ferry serves food that is, yes, comfortable, but top notch too.
The dishes were pitched squarely in the middle of the road, cuisine-wise rather than at the haute end, but were nevertheless tasty and perfectly-prepared.
Olives, pate, ravioli, rigatoni, lamb loin, lamb shank - the four of us were treated to wonderful food and outstanding service.
I'd had a couple of Manhattans by the time the appetizers arrived, so I may be a little fulsome in my praise for Dobbs Ferry - at least Mrs Page thinks so, as she believes it was just an OK place.
