This is one of the best restaurants in town. Try to get a reservation in advance. Their leg of lamb is amazing, as are their condiments. The door to the restaurant is somewhat hidden, so you aren't lost if you end up down an alley. If you get there when they open, you might be able to get a spot at the bar even without a reservation.
