The Scene – A neighborhood crowd buzzes most nights at the Outpost, whose unassuming exterior gives way to a cozy, copper-ceilinged space with warm yellow and exposed brick walls. Old model planes, maps and drawings suggest the romance of the Australian outback, inspiring a relaxed mood in the couples sitting at close tables in the intimate room. – – The Food – The smart, contemporary American menu boasts several instant favorites. Grilled prawns have a spicy watermelon glaze so hot it'll make you sweat; tender, peppery roasted pork chop is paired with hearty cheese…

Both the service and the food at The Outpost were excellent. We ordered one of the specials of the night -- venison -- and it was outstanding. The chef came out to ask how it was. The wine that we ordered was not available so they made a substitution which was a perfect match for the venison. I had the bread pudding and it was great! My husband had the banana wonton and loved it also. The staff went out of their way to be friendly.
- Pros: attentive staff, good food, great wine list
