"Kind of like Inception, Cold Storage is normally the seafood restaurant inside Swift & Sons. But now it’s sharing the outdoor space at Swift & Sons, which is sharing the space with the Google building. After you’ve secured that Escher-esque vision inside your head, you should know that Cold Storage also has a great oyster selection, tasty small plates like clams with chorizo, and a fantastic cheeseburger." - adrian kane
