Fodor's Review:

Twentysomething chef-owner Jared Simons, decked out in antiestablishment tattoos and a mohawk, puts a new spin on the neighborhood bistro with promising results. The small-plates menu, which Simons describes as "eating promiscuously," kicks comfort food up a notch with terrific ingredients: baked macaroni with Gruyère cheese and Serrano ham, venison meatballs, and braised short ribs. All this is bolstered by an eclectic choice of wines and handcrafted beers.
