What a great addition to this area! I have to admit I wasn't feeling the overall decor when I walked in but....we arrived just after 5 pm on a Sunday evening with a party of 5. Very few tables were filled but by 6:30, the place was absolutely packed. The setup of the restaurant is conducive to sharing and family style eating. We ordered a bunch of items. Smoked trout-liked by everyone at the table but it wasn't for me, just not my thing. We had the Forbidden Rice, Brussels Sprouts, Roasted Beets, Shrimp App, the Smashed Potatoes and a whole chicken, the lamb and pork shoulder from the Butcher. (Geez that's a lot to type and yes, it was a lot of food). Make sure you select one of the sauces offered-they were delicious. Everything was delightful with the exception of the potatoes. They were just ok. We shared everything and everyone had plenty to eat with lots of leftovers.
For dessert, we had the baklava and vanilla gelato.
The place is kid friendly which adds to the loudness of the place. Definitely go with 4 or so people so that you can order a bunch of items and sample. They don't take reservations although there didn't seem to be much of a wait. Outdoor patio looks great for when it warms up.
I would recommend this place and would return to try some other items and some of their specialty cocktails.
