Serious food lovers flock to this kitschy enclave for the modestly-priced excitement wafting from the kitchen of executive chef John Broening, formerly of the late Brasserie Rouge. Here, in this fetching food temple dressed with naked tables surrounded by exposed brick, wide planked hardwoods, distressed window frames, and rusted steel accents, Broening is captivating the crowds with his fuss-free American creations that tout seasonally-charged, market fresh ingredients and restorative flavors. Starting with the complimentary bowl of olives paired with flatbreads through the indelible meal that follows, sensible charms rule. Broening's talents lie in his crispy salt cod fritters sided with aioli, the housemade mushroom ravioli pooled in a parmesan and porcini broth, and in his brunch creations like the shrimp dewey -- sauteed shrimp circling parmesan grits in a jalapeno-flecked tomato sauce.
