NW inspired dishes, small plates. Outdoor area with a fire pit. Glass wall separates the space from a local bread maker - watch the action. No reservations so need to arrive early if you want to eat on the weekend, or be prepared to wait... Happy hour is $1 off seafood dishes and select wines.

Pasta made by the same crew as adjoining, pricey Spinasse. Sunday and Monday 5-7pm 2 pastas and a bottle of wine for $35! With a 2$ (only2$!) order of very good bread it was enough for us... Line up at 4:45 if you don't want to wait 1-2 hours for a seat...
