Editorial Review

Taavo Somer of Freemans fame gets rustic across the river. Wood galore, stacked in cords in back, along the ceiling beams, and dividing the geodesic light fixtures. Aged brick and tile floor to complement. Estonian name means “dad,” welcoming doors slide open to the street. Small plates swing creative, sardines served with skeletons, calamari synched with ink. Also pig tails and hanger steaks. Open kitchen lets you perform your own amateur health inspections.
