This intimate 34-seat storefront 20 minutes from the city’s Gold Coast is chef-owner Chris Nugent’s personal statement on market-driven contemporary food. Formerly of the more luxurious Les Nomades, he offers two tasting menus, 8 or 12 courses, still classically inspired but often featuring unexpected combinations. He plans to keep it BYO so that guests can either bring favorite wines from home or buy some at nearby wine shops.
