Little neighborhood gem: rich dishes, great music with their record player, everyone on staff has a cool vibe. Gnocchi was perfectly soft and crispy. The halibut and butter beans were mouth watering. The broccolini salad had a fun mix of raw and cooked broccoli in a tangy dressing.

The restaurants environs are top notch, from the decor to the music that accompanies the meal. It’s a most pleasant space to spend a meal. The Garbage Salad is excellent and a large enough portion for two, serving as a great opener. The bone marrow had a bit too much going on, but the texture was great and served as a solid counterbalance to the bread. The risotto was thick and creamy with a marked sweet- and spiciness to it. The halibut was a distinct disappointment in that it was unevenly cooked with a dry exterior and undercooked interior. If I were ever to return to this establishment it would be solely for the salad, as it was one of the superior examples of salad that I have ever had. This is a newer establishment that has a few things to work out.
