Small Plates

An intimate, narrow space with an open kitchen means that conviviality reigns at the aptly named Small Plates. Indeed, diminutive portions are the rule, and sampling several of them with friends is the way to go. These tidbits are packed with flavor, from empanadas and sesame beef stir fry to sherry mushrooms and a petite tenderloin. Brick-oven pizzas are also sized for nibbling at eight inches each. Sandwiches and salads complete the menu, along with sensational, housemade desserts like a mini pastry sampler and a chocolate chunk cookie sandwich. Great cocktails are a plus.
