In the press

West Town's great restaurant in disguise.

The Infatuation · Rated 8.7
It’s the type of bar where you might stop in for one drink after work, and realize a few tacos, tostadas, burritos, and cocktails—later that the bagged kale salad wilting at home is going to spend night number eight in the fridge.
