Food scene
Stylish eatery with a bar where Argentine-inspired NW fare is cooked on a wood-fired grill. Since COVID, they now take reservations. Be sure to book a reservation unless you don’t mind waiting hours for a table. The Whey Bar is in the back - great for a cocktail if you have to wait for a table.
