"This martini and raw bar spot doubles as an overachieving waiting room for its sister restaurant Macchialina, which is just next door. The martinis make up the bulk of the cocktail options, and they’re interesting and creative without being gimmicky. Each has a subtly brilliant twist. The finocchio delicato has a fennel infusion that doesn’t hit you until you begin to swallow. The fluke has a pinch of sherry and a pair of pickled grapes for garnish. And they all pair beautifully with the raw bar dishes that make up the bulk of the menu." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo
