Profile
So much vibrancy and warmth issues from both the kitchen and the personable, passionate staff that owner Andrew Chapman has coordinated, that August feels like a local taverna along the Mediterranean. From the wood oven come two enticing variations on pizza: Alsatian onion tart with bacon and an ooze of crème fraîche, and a darker, crackling crust supporting a mélange of spinach, artichokes, pine nuts, and currants. Entrées, though less spirited, offer the balminess that suffuses a seaside vacation. — Rob Patronite and Robin Raisfeld

It was accompanied by mystery greens and a viscid little ball they referred to as Dumplings. The Oxtail Ragu seemed as though it was sauteed in said Scullery Maid's preserved placenta. And please, don't even ask about the spaghetti squash and chorizo sudoku puzzle they call Camarones a la Parilla. (Added Bonus: Black garlic and squid ink dipping sauce. ?.) But don't worry, they lend you a couple crawdads whose beady little eyes gaze upon you as you eat. As if to say "You will sit at this table until everything on your plate is finished, or I'm telling your father".
We were excited about going here and made a reservation for outside...but when we arrived we were told that they no longer had room and sat us iside. We had been volunteering all day at Children's Aid so we were dressed in jeans and nice sweaters but not suits(we didn't look B&T ). Unfortunately she sat us next to the place where you check in so we watched people walk in minutes after us and be seated outside that said they didn't have reservations. When we approached the manager about it she just laughed. It made us angry because we had just ordered $220 worth of food. It's too bad because this place could be really cute. I would advise you bring your money elsewhere.
PS-The food sucked and the fish that they filet for me was over cooked and filled with bones.
