Description

Inside the very small, well-decorated space, the vibe balances comforting warmth with a lively playlist. The kitchen rejects simple bar fare in favor of ambitious plates, including a standout sticky rice dessert, while the staff guides patrons through the extensive bottle list with personalized wine recommendations. Getting a taste requires planning, however, as tables in this tight dining room are notoriously difficult to secure.
