This restaurant, from renowned chef Ashley Christensen, is dedicated to the technique of cooking with wood fire. You can find a delicious wood-fired steak, of course; but much of the menu showcases the element of fire in more subtle ways. Don't miss dishes like roasted oysters with preserved lemon and chili butter; rabbit cotechino with embered kale relish, mustard frills, smoked rabbit jus; and luxurious pastas like the buttery agnolotti with grilled maitake, chèvre, lemon thyme.The space itself is sophisticated and sleek, and full of character. The building was established in 1907 and has formerly housed a funeral home and a bank (the restaurant's name is a hat tip to these former tenants). Don't miss the beverage program, including the extensive wine list. The wine cellar is housed in a former bank vault in the basement.

    Matthew was fabulous. Explained the menu on detail so we felt confident in our order. The cauliflower was fantastic. The mango desert was brilliant. All in all, a great meal in a very nice setting. Our advice….don’t be scared of food you don’t know much about. Let Matthew guide you.

    We had an absolutely exceptional dining experience, largely thanks to our phenomenal server, Jess. Her detailed, perfect descriptions of each dish brought the menu to life, and her attentive service was flawless. Sitting at the counter elevated the evening even further, offering us a front-row seat to watch the culinary team intentionally and meticulously preparing every delicious dish.
