replying to u/rightanglerecording: Another wino here in my neighborhood? Wild stuff. And, what's Bridges like? I've yet to make it down there.
“I adore the wine team - the list is a whole lot of fun. It leans natural, but they know what they are doing… this is not the mousy close out list foisted on a clueless buyer.”

replying to u/Garconavecunreve: I’d do chambers, bridges or lei wine bar - none are tasting menus but rather small plate style. Exceptional cooking at all of them, great atmosphere imo - not pretentious but not hole in the wall.
“I would second Bridges. Just went for my anniversary and it was phenomenal - also fits OP’s description in the sense that it’s dishes you just would not get anywhere else, it’s quite imaginative”

replying to u/DMCer: No one over 35 was there during my first and last visit. Are they big on TikTok or something? I thought it was just fine. Entrees overpriced for being “fine.” Good service though! The dessert (maple ice cream) was borderline inedible thanks to being too sweet, even without the pumps of barista syrup they usually drown it in. Good to try once.
