Ate at Killen's in Heights last night. Great food and pineapple martini was next level awesome.
I ate there once and found it to be highly mediocre. On Waugh just past Washington avenue, right?

Did the patio at Rainbow Lodge last week and going to Ostia tonight.
Taking advantage of al Fresco places while the weather is nice, because it won't last

Made reservations for Annabelle Brasserie. New restaurant that is part of the Berg empire.

Anyone been yet? Recommendations on what to order?

Isn't the daughter of a regular poster here the Pastry Chef at Ostia?

It's expensive for sure. That said NoPo is a great value, IMO. Ambiance at Turners is hard to beat.

NoPo is his only concept I want to visit. Been to BB's, Sophia and no interest in returning to either of those.

How was Ostia?
A little disappointing. Waiter forgot about us a couple of times. the gnocchi was good, but advertised as having scallops but they were the little Bay Scallops... Beef Tartar was good as was the Focaccia. My Branzino was huge but lacked flavor other than the crispy skin.
So all in all it wasn't bad... just not Special. We thought Rainbow Lodge was better, and that back patio there is absolutely stunning.

Bummer, I've had some really good meals at Ostia and their potatoes are amazing. Plus good wine list. But one time my wife's fish wasn't done properly and something else I've had was very meh, so I think they do have an occasional miss.

We used to love REEF before Harvey killed it, and my wife happened to drive by that corner the other day, and she saw this place was up and running.

glad the space is occupied, REEF was a beautiful space. You know he's back in a kitchen, he's running Post Script's kitchen right now. Caswell has battled some demons, his issues and divorce killed REEF, tbh, but he's a good dude by all accounts and happy he's back in a restaurant.

Anyone been to the new La Griglia? Looks like they have a new menu to go along with the new location.
