Editorial Review

Shims on the tables and shivs in the alley. Trendsetting hunting lodge chic, worth the effort to find. Wealthy downtown types and assorted scenesters sitting around worn wooden tables look extra cool in the perfect lights. New chef, expanded space expanded to better display animal head and stuffed bird collection. Meaty menu, too, we’re liberated by maple-glazed quail, rabbit roulade, trout with garlic, thyme, and lemon. Rum Swizzles and wild boar paté complete the weekend brunch experience.
