Dining Room
A house--raised quite a bit, it appears, after the deep flooding this neighborhood took after K--has been renovated into one large room with an open kitchen and an oversize bar. The look is rustic. The service staff is bright, and they are capable of answering questions about, say, the many beers available here. (Enough that you could call the place a gastropub.)
Deficiencies
The good but off-standard merguez sausage needs either a different name or a reformulation. The way they have the menus stapled to pieces of cardboard strikes me as shabby. The current meat pie (duck) is good, but a disappointment for those who might want the classic spicy ground beef pie.
For Best Results
They seem to be busier at lunch than at dinner, but the crowds that attended the place during its phenom period have thinned enough to allow quick seating.
