Great restaurant, if you can believe it

Hard to believe this is a semi-fashionable pretty good restaurant in a neighborhood known for its restaurants, because here it just looks seedy. That's what happens to things in the city about this time of year, when we are all waiting for the plants to bloom (they are starting to) and for the city to sweep the streets. People will begin to spruce things up, making repairs and painting, awnings will come out and some places will put chairs on the sidewalk. But not tonight.
