When you walk in, you really feel like it’s someone’s living room, except it’s full of little dining tables, and a sofa is nowhere to be found. It’s small and intimate and warm. One thing we noticed on the Sunday night that we [...]

I don’t know if maybe I just didn’t notice before, but damn, is the place loud! Noise aside, I’ve never had a bad meal here. Here is the seared haloumi with candied dates and sesame-fig compote. I love haloumi. It is a bit salty [...]

Yes, that Ditka. It’s primarily a steak spot. Also, there’s lots of drinking. And plenty of TV’s for sports watching. We ordered a bunch of oysters to start.
