Diners can see right into the thrumming kitchen and watch the staff prepare everything with what seems to be choreographed precision. It’s a hallmark of chef Tiffany Derry’s restaurants. Know before you go: This small place is regularly packed out, and you’re not likely to land even a seat at the bar without a reservation. Don’t try to fly by the seat of your pants." - Courtney E.
