It is at 20th Street on 7th Ave. I eat there about twice a month, and it is definitely a great option. Casual, laid back and easy, but delicious food. They got a "listed" rating in the Michelin guide. The "specials" are often more consistent than not, but always delicious. There's nothing on the menu that I don't like.
