"After earning a handful of Michelin Bib Gourmands at her New York restaurants Salt, L’il Gem, and Thelma on Clinton, Melissa O’ Donnell has co-opted a space to open a an affordable restaurant with Eastern Mediterranean influence. Mussels get a hit of anise flavored arak, rack of lamb is crusted with dukkah, little gem gets green goddess dressing with labneh, and roast chicken is shawarma-spiced. For those who want to enjoy the bay view, there is an outdoor area with fire pits." - Beth Landman
