A new farm-to-table type restaurant just opened up in downtown JC on Jersey Ave. An excellent location - the restaurant is currently BYOB and is right next door to Jersey Ave Wine and Liquors. The woman working there even had suggestions of wines to pair with particular dishes on the menu. She got me to happily drink red wine for the first time in forever. The owners of the restaurant are a young husband and wife - the wife was actually on the floor talking to customers and helping serve and expedite. The husband was a chef for Momofuku in NYC. Overall a high quality meal and I actually felt like I was in a restaurant in the city. Super packed all the time, but fortunately while we waited we could shop for our booze ha.

| Raw Fluke with carrot, tobasco, cilantro, and trout roe |

 |
| Delicious wine but what is it in English? We do not know |
 |
| BBQ squid salad with pickled pearl onions, jalapenos, and cilantro. Hands down best part of the meal |
 |
| Whole roasted trout with baby turnips, cippolini onions and bacon. Tasty but a little oily |
 |
| Grilled Spanish mackerel with mushrooms, ramps, and salsa verde. Again tasty but very, very oily. |
 |
| Grilled Asparagus with hummus, mustard seed, and black olive vinaigrette. Good but probably not worth $11 |
 |
| Kevin's Mom's lemon bar. That is really the name. Tasty and not overly sweet. I wish it were more lemon-y though rather than buttery/carb-y. |
