Forever in my top 3. The roasted mushrooms, the pasta, the wine list—it’s giving quiet luxury with carbs. I always leave full and a little in love with life. Elegant without trying.

It’s cool without trying. The grain bowls, brothy vegetables, and funky pickled sides feel like a soft reset. I go when I want nourishment but still want to feel seen.
