Universal Grill skates the line between distinguished dining and hipster-homey. The room is ragged but charming, and elevated comfort food nods to the American south and the Caribbean. The polenta is crispy on the outside, cloud-like on the inside. With roasted tomatoes, mushrooms and creamy goat cheese, it’s always a winner. Many chefs steer clear of pan-seared calf’s liver and onions, a classic but easily spoiled dish; Universal Grill’s version is smooth and succulent, with caramelized Dijon onions and perfect roasted red potatoes. Baby back pork ribs, a house special, glisten in a sweet-spicy barbecue sauce that sticks to your fingers as the moist meat melts off the bone. Dessert sees a fast fall from grace: crème brûlée resembles scrambled eggs, and a brownie is chalky and bland. Inventive cocktails outshine the wine list. Mains $17–$26.
