"This modern American spot in Filter Square is dark and intimate—they only have 20-ish seats, including a bar area that's reserved for walk-ins, and the only light to speak of past 7pm is from candles. The small menu of seasonal seafood and produce is full of surprises, and the handmade pastas are not to be missed. Bonus: almost every dish costs less than $30 and it's a BYOB, so it's reasonably priced for a special night out. What a feeling." - candis mclean, alison kessler
