The Scene
Open a heavy, two-story-high door on this desolate stretch of Folsom and find a welcoming blend of raw grit and modern elegance. Exposed-brick walls are juxtaposed with gauzy curtains that hang over each one of the three person-deep booths. A row of squat white-leather stools give a whimsical feel to the otherwise industrial-looking space.

The Food
A short-but-sweet menu is full of comfort food favorites pulled from many culinary traditions. The powerhouses of France and Italy are well-represented, with duck confit served with ratatouille and chicken under a brick garnished with sauteed broccoli rabe. Even all-American classics are celebrated, with a juicy hamburger gussied up with truffle cheese, and Northwestern-inspired cedar-roasted wild salmon. But the kitchen also dishes up a few of its own creations, like a tomato-based seafood chowder crowned with puff pastry. Skip the childlike desserts, like banana Oreo crepes, and get another cocktail instead.
