| High ceilings, ultra-simple wooden tables and chairs and a welcoming bar set the tone for this hip and noisy neighborhood spot. The menu is a mix of fin, fur and fowl, with an emphasis on fresh oysters and seasonal ingredients procured from local producers and farmers. On any given night, the oysters---which you have the option of enjoying at the communal stone table (complete with fire pit in the center) out on the patio---might be freshly shucked Malpeques, Kumamotos or Virginicas. The dining room features small plates like the goat cheese and leek tart with a buttery crust, chile-dusted fried calamari or shishito peppers. For a bigger meal, we enjoy something oceanic---sea bass, for example, pooled in a redolent Thai curry, a lobster BLT with smoked bacon and juicy slices of heirloom tomato, or a big bowl of mussels and frites. Sommelier and owner Steve Whited has put together an interesting wine list including classics and selections from small growers and organic vineyards, most available by the glass. |
