Description

CLOSED Until Bella opened in the Quadrangle, only other chefs knew of Christopher Short and his skill in the kitchen.

    Went there a couple weeks ago. It is in the old Tin Star space across from the Quadrangle. Good food and service. It looks like it probably becomes a scene late night.

    Went there for lunch and was blown away by the caprese salad. HUGE portions and the tomatoes had to have been heirlooms they were so delicious. Great bar, too.
