Foreign Cinema
The Verdict
"Films from the 1960s and 1970s projected on the courtyard wall."
What you need to know
The Space
The indoor and outdoor courtyard is the main draw. Heaters keep it warm on foggy nights. Films, mostly from the 1960s and 1970s, run on the wall. The interior dining rooms are quieter and screen-free. The building is a converted warehouse.
The Food
California-Mediterranean: seasonal produce prepared with French, Italian, and Spanish technique. Pan-roasted chicken with herb jus, grilled lamb chops, fresh pastas, and oysters from the raw bar.
Brunch on weekend mornings draws a long line.
What to Order
Oysters from the raw bar to start.
The roasted chicken, a long-running kitchen item.
Pop-tarts with seasonal fillings for brunch dessert.
