"Owned by Olivia Genthe (also behind the bespoke Faunt Board and Table), this converted-home space is compact — the kitchen is “roughly the size of a postage stamp,” so a tight menu is necessary — and offers a remarkable wine list heavy on natural bottles alongside food that ranges from fancy to homey: think escargot on one end and a plated pot roast with mashed potatoes on the other, plus approachable nibbles like bowls of warm, marinated olives or radish butter. The moody, intimate interior and a sprawling outdoor seating area encourage lingering and trying a substantial portion of the wine list; plates and glasses are generally priced under $30 and $20, respectively." - Courtney E.
