"I never thought I’d plan a bar visit just for a glass of wine and some bread, until I tried the bread‑and‑butter appetizer ($10) here, with the smart option to add breakfast radishes for $3. A rich, creamy, pale‑yellow mound of butter is scooped from an oblong bowl and served with a warm, soft, airy brioche encased in a lightly crispy crust. It’s worth grabbing a bar seat, picking from the rotating wine list, and slathering heaps of silky butter on that fresh brioche." - Bettina Makalintal
