"A space notable for a thoughtful use of natural wood—walls of poplar marred by a cucumbering defect that initially streaks green and slowly oxidizes to brown—so the interior visibly evolves over years alongside the culinary program, a detail meant to create a sense of organic growth and material authenticity rather than generic, light-wood mimicry." - Nick Mancall-Bitel
