"Co-owners and chefs Sarah Heard and Nathan Lemley are still knocking it out of the park at this North Loop restaurant with their fresh energy and ideas. The New American menu is familiar, but has been spruced up since the restaurant’s original owner sold it to the couple in 2017, with soothing dishes like goat mafaldine and Parisian gnocchi. Adventurous eaters should seek out the offal dishes, such as chicken liver mousse. The neighborhood restaurant works as well for spontaneous meals as it does for special occasions. Takeout orders can be placed online; there are indoor and outdoor dine-in services." - Nadia Chaudhury, Erin Russell
