    A little pricey, but well worth it if you enjoy good food in an intimate setting. A rare combo in Ballard

    I've heard it's good and I'm sure it is, but my limited experiences were nothing extraordinary, especially considering many food and drink items were fairly expensive.

    Blue cheese and pomegranate Lettuce Wedge - it's enough for an entire meal and gourmet de-lish.

    This restaurant is better than good. But the thing pictured here is described on the menu as 'pizza.' and without irony. Seriously Maria Hines?
