The dimly lit, wood-lined space feels like an old farmhouse cafe, and hosts a buzzing nighttime scene as diners and drinkers crowd in for oysters, tip-top cocktails and a changing daily menu of locavore specialties (grilled bluefish, sour cabbage pancakes, tuna melt on brioche). Brunch is a big draw, so prepare for lines (or book ahead by phone or online).
