Hip outpost provides cutting-edge regional & global small plates & cocktails in a snug, cool space.

"WHAT: One of the few restaurants in the West End to stay open past 10 p.m., drawing industry folks with an eclectic collection of dishes that swing from Momofuku-inspired to classic Southern, all with a locavore Rhode Island bent. 

WHY: They take no reservations and the wait can be long. Service can be charmingly grumpy. But those pedestrian annoyances are quickly made up for by the imaginative plates delivered to the six tables that make up the Asia-gone-nautical dining room. The tight kitchen executes tiny country ham biscuits as well as it does spicy dan dan noodles with mutton, squid, and fermented chiles. Its sister bakery serves a similarly delicious hodgepodge."
