I stopped in here after working late (they serve food until 1am) in Baltimore one night a couple of weeks ago (been out the country since then) and left very impressed. They've done a great job converting a former warehouse into a stylish, multi-tiered restaurant. I grabbed a seat at the large bar, where the extremely friendly and knowledgeable bartender (I wish I could remember his name) took great care of me as the only solo diner amid the crush of drunk businessmen and cocktail drinking hipsters. I had: Braised veal cheeks - served with artichokes, mushrooms, pine nuts and some reduced braising sauce. Can't go wrong with veal cheeks. Chorizo and potatoes - Very simple, with both ingredients sliced and sauteed along with some onions, but perfect Mussels gratin - Good, but the mussels were a bit on the small side for this type of preparation (ratio of bread crumbs covering the half-shell to mussel meat too high) Fritto misto - Calimari and a certain type of fish I can't remember, with a lemon and garlic aioli Lamb on fougasse - a pile of cold shaved lamb on top of a toasted slice of fougasse bread smeared with a delicous garlic (and yogurt?) sauce. I didn't expect the lamb to be cold, but didn't mind-- it was kinda like a superb deli sandwich Portions were generous for the prices (it ended up being alot of food for one person, but hey, it was very late and I hadn't eaten anything all day) and the interesting wine list is very reasonably priced. They have a nice cheese selection too, that I unfortunately didn't get to sample. This place is definitely worth a drive from DC. Go, and you'll see why Sietsema reviewed it.
