"Jill Vedaa and Jessica Parkison, the duo behind Salt in Lakewood, recently took possession of a beloved century-old home-turned-restaurant space on artsy Larchmere Boulevard. The elegant main floor boasts mahogany fixtures, exposed wood beams, and a tony four-seat cocktail bar. Seating extends to the enclosed front porch, the renovated second floor, and the sprawling landscaped patio complete with bar in the carriage house. Chef Vedaa’s smart, global cooking is on full display in creative seasonal small, medium, and large plates. Cocktails here are not to be missed." - Douglas Trattner
