"Confidant opened in March in Industry City from Brendan Kelley and Daniel Grossman, two Roberta’s alums. It brings way more ambition and creativity than you might expect of a full-service restaurant for lunch and dinner in the same zone as Costco and an outlet of Design Within Reach. That is to say, Confidant is impressive: from its trout mousse toast to prawn pot pie, plus more splurgey large-format dishes, meant to share. Mariah Neston, a Le Rock alum, has developed a can’t-miss dessert menu with options like rhubarb upside-down cake and a mille-feuille." - Emma Orlow
