Editorial Review

High-end restaurant known for its bacalhau (codfish) dishes goes out on a limb by hiring a street artist to add metropolitan flavor with an antique city scene airbrushed onto an old truck tarp, providing the backdrop to a naturally lit, elegant space in a Joker-purple scheme. Business casual rules lunch. Nighttime brings well-heeled, younger impresarios. Group dining gets a sexy spin in a space upstairs where up to 30 participants sit around one table—good for parties, great for playing footsies. At night, the restaurant puts on a groove to warm up the mood. Ask for a table next to the cherry blossom tree, undoubtedly the most fragrant part of the place if not the kitchen.
