AtmosphereEvery inch a bistro, jostling and tight, with an adrenalized intensity. Service is direct, even-keeled and almost unflappable.
Noise LevelLoud enough to make you feel alive without distracting you from your companions.
Recommended DishesThe menu changes regularly. Recent highlights include fried yuba; leeks vinaigrette; chicken and crawfish étouffée; cold poached chicken; New York strip à la broccolini; pork crepinette with curried peas and frites; turbot ca kho; squid ink chitarra; ice cream bombe; Vietnamese coffee Pavlova; triple lemon panna cotta; avocado affogato. Small plates, $22 to $28; big plates, $33 to $55.
Drinks and WineAn accessible wine list and breezily maverick cocktails, including fish sauce on the rocks (with vodka) and a truly dirty martini, clouded by the pickled oyster in its depths.
