"Nancy’s Hustle knows how to set the mood with candle-lit tables and fuzzy reel-to-reel records while converting you to team tartare. Their version comes with lamb instead of beef, and any gaminess gets balanced out with crunchy almonds and briny green olives. Load hefty scoops and some spicy aioli onto the soft, spongy, grilled-to-order flatbread that’s packed with so many sesame seeds you’ll find them clinging to your clothes for the rest of the night. If you walk in during peak dinner hours, space at Nancy’s Hustle will be pretty limited. Either commit to going for a sexy late-night dinner with someone who makes your heart sing, or try your luck at the bar or patio when they first open." - chelsea thomas, gianni greene
