Editorial Review

Banana Republic casting call meets sleek, organic-chic Russian Hill eatery. Will it be Botox or Bordeaux tonight? Wines by the glass, chartreuse banquettes, lowlit ambience makes for girls-night-out glow. Bone marrow butter and Coca-Cola braised pork shoulder should clue you in to not very Karl Lagerfeld–sized portions. Smoker in chef whites on the curb is the owner. Nice guy with stressful job. Two words: ricotta fritters.
