"After years of sold-out pop-ups, chef Brian Baik’s acclaimed restaurant opened in its permanent Melrose Hill home on October 30, serving an 11-course seafood-centric tasting menu at an intimate counter with only 10 seats tucked behind the more casual Bar 109. The oft-evolving lineup has included aji toast with horse mackerel on homemade milk bread and an ikura tartlet filled with translucent orange roe orbs, with a wine program consulted on by Master Sommelier Michael Engelmann that emphasizes bottles from small, family-owned estates." - Rebecca Roland
