MICHELIN Guide's Point Of View

As cool and convivial as ever, this is the kind of place where both diners and staff seem perpetually at bliss. Inside, it all feels like a labor of love, thanks to the husband-and-wife team who make it their mission to bring fresh, rib-sticking food to this neighborhood. The space itself is warehouse-sized and rustic, with a copper bar, tulip-shaped pendant lights, booths that appear virtually suspended, and a flaming red-domed oven.However, it is the cooking that lures these crowds. To wit: a justifiably popular deboned and properly grilled whole fish stuffed with pea tendrils, fried herbs, and charred citrus. Desserts though are equally enticing, so save room for a rich and creamy chocolate budina tucked into a crisp tart with salted caramel.
