Huntley on decor. Verjus on food and two lovely, local folks running it.
I love them both and I think they're completely different. The menu is probably more diverse at Huntley, but Verjus makes great selections for their menu, both have liquor licenses, they're both caring hosts.....I say go to one this weekend and the other next weekend.
Completely different venus. Verjus for fine dining, wonderful cocktails, top wine selection. Huntley also top dining as well as bar option. I would take kids to Huntley anytime, Verjus not at all -- its really a white table cloth experience. And at Verjus, Jane and husband will customize your meal completely.
At that price point, I would suggest Lorena's (more formal) or A Toute Heure (more casual farm-to-table concept) instead. Both have excellent food.
peteglider: Depends on the kid. Last year, I went to Verjus for Thanksgiving with my sister and 4-year-old nephew. Nephew did just fine. Of course, he's pretty well-behaved on average (with occasional melt-downs -- he's 4 after all), and just as important, he will eat almost anything. My sister is very lucky.

Both menus look really nice. How does decor compare? Is Huntley Tavern's outdoor seating nice? Thanks
Agree with some of the others. Huntley is definitely a "see and be seen" location (valet parking with a preponderance of Audis, BMWs, and Mercedes. Not a bad thing per-se, just the way it is. Solid food for the most part, though it can be a little hit-and-miss on really busy nights.
Verjus seems to be more about the food and less about the scene. Definitely a slightly older and less flashy crowd at Verjus, though absolutely refined. Have been for several specialty nights (German night and summer shore menu) and was really impressed.
Verjus for Food. Huntley is very loud and the food is definitely hit or miss (Mostly miss).
Huntley Tavern is really overrated aNd that's *an* nderstatement
Been to Verjus and loved it...now you gave me an idea for a new place to visit...Google: Huntle Tavern =)
