Says critic Craig LaBan: calls this south Kensington BYOB an unexpected delight. “With every gorgeous plate of house-pulled burrata stuffed with charred ramps and mustard greens, every coffee-crusted leg of lamb dressed with urban-farmed turnips, and every giant monkfish tail for two emerging from the kitchen into this pleasant, airy little dining room, we are reminded that genuine talent can overcome a lack of big-money backing to find an audience here… When the chefs behind the stove are cooking with the fluid seasonality and contemporary ease of co-chefs and owners Kevin D'Egidio and Mike Griffiths, the 34-seat horsepower of a simple BYO — and a willingness to be a neighborhood pioneer — is all that's needed to focus on the food and shine.”
