Unpaid review from a real human being.
It's worth noting that this restaurant is out of character for Melrose, and the "$$" price designation is inaccurate. The neighborhood and casual description sets expectations a little different from reality - a few "small plates" for two plus a cocktail and beer each ran about $200 before the tip.
Thick pretension pervades... (Server: "Your eggs were poached at 140 degrees.") and they play the ambiguous portion game where they aim to make you feel cheap for asking, and will give an unclear answer if you do.
Food was great.
