Old Mercat space is legit with Circolo placed here. Cocktails great and menu was awesome - go for the octopus to start and choose any of the amazing pasta's, lamb or sea bass. Kale & artichokes a +.
Picnic table in front - good. Meatballs - ok. Truffle special spaghetti - good and fresh. Lamb ragu pasta - good and fresh. Octopus - very good. Music - good. Just all around solid.
A lil' pricey IMHO but while you're here: meatballs, octopus apps are great (meatballs work best w all THREE sauces). Don't miss the James Bond cocktails... Casino Royale is better of the two
Refinery 29: Interior is bright and welcoming, tequila-infused cocktails, gnocchi is like the most high-end mac 'n' cheese you'll ever eat, tables are largely communal
