"Brian Clevenger’s Eastlake pasta spot strikes the perfect balance between neighborhood hangout and legitimate destination restaurant. The bright, minimalist space feels high-end, the sort of place you’d linger for date night, but it’s also a welcoming place to meet friends for a casual hang out. The menu here is ever-changing, but reliably includes a handful of Clevenger’s perfect pastas, plus small plates like a seasonal burrata dish, local vegetables, and raw oysters, along with entrees like sockeye salmon and steak with black garlic and fingerling potatoes." - Megan Hill
