Opening night has finally arrived: Jawad Saadaoui and Drew Trautmann’s 75-seat restaurant is serving dinner this evening starting at 5 PM. We have a sneak peek of the opening menu after the jump, though the lineup of seasonal items is printed in-house on a daily basis to allow for changes (so don’t get heartsick if the gin, grapefruit, and pink peppercorn cocktail or the cider-braised pork shank gets switched out one day).
Check out our early look of the space, which includes plenty of photos to get you geared up for din.
