At this wonderful little brick-wall joint that’s heavy on the folksy, you’ll feel compelled to come in for a cocktail and stay for bistro steak or confit chicken wings. The bookshelves aren’t for show: There’s an array of readable tomes on seemingly every subject.
Dish: Consider making a meal of the appetizers, Bites & Sides, and charcuterie, including the PEI mussels, Brussels sprouts, roasted asparagus and speck, and mixed salumi with seasonal accoutrements.
Drink: The Strawberry Manilow—a mix of gin, strawberry, mint shrub, balsamic vinegar, lemon, and Cocchi Americano.
