Fodor's Review:

This place has jumped to the head of the class by keeping things simple yet effective. (Its litmus: local chefs gather here to wind down after work.) Try anything with the great chive mashed potatoes and don't miss the double-thick brined pork chops. The vibe is generally more bar than restaurant, so be forewarned: it can get loud. Desserts are not served.
