This place is so cool. Maybe 10 bar stools in the middle of a grocery store and you watch the chefs cook everything. Chef Joe is great — asked if I wanted to add anything to my branzino (I chose capers) and offered free mashed potatoes to everyone at the bar when they made too many. They seem to have a loyal crowd, highly recommend checking them out. - Kerry Sorenson
