Description
This nationally acclaimed small plates spot is tiny, looks like a sauna, has communal seating, doesn’t take reservations and is loud as hell. But it works, and at nearly five years, is still as enticing as it was out of the gates. Stalwarts like chorizo-stuffed dates or whipped brandade are always tempting, but try spring specials before they’re gone. Smashed spring peas are slathered on crostini and topped with preserved lemon, watercress and radish slivers, while crackly-crusted pizza gets smoked sardines, fava puree, arugula and an over-easy egg.
