When owner Damian Heath took over this tiny art deco–era diner 15 years ago, the food wasn’t worth eating. But the ugly duckling has grown up beautifully, regularly collecting lineups out the door. The offerings—generously portioned bistro classics and comfort food with Old World influences—are mostly hits, with only a few misses. A tapas-sized dish of black Moroccan olives is fragrant with fennel and orange. Meltingly tender beef short ribs braised in beer and marmalade rest on buttery mashed potatoes, tender-crisp yellow beans and bok choy, all encircled by a moat of delicious, bittersweet jus. Maple crème brûlée is perfection. Mains $17–$26.
