Poison Heart

Spring ArtsBar, American$-$$

Low-lit and loud, Poison Heart has a small, impeccably curated menu of good food and drinks — just what you'd expect from an alum of Le Caveau and Good King Tavern. Light bites (oysters, olives, shrimp cocktail, fried pickles) counterbalance an excellent patty melt and grilled cheese. Don't skip best-selling the freezer cocktails.
