A fun neighborhood restaurant with some really good and unique dishes (harissa carrot sliders, Brussels sprouts, burger, chicken picatta meatballs !!), really good cocktails and an interesting wine offering. The ambiance is modest and not all the dishes are hits (charred leeks were a disappointment), but this place hits far above its weight and the people are lovely.
