Up front is a fancy market with excellent cheese and charcuterie, plus coffee, tea, ice cream, some fresh produce, etc. Don't miss the chocolate babka, baked by a family-owned Jewish bakery in the neighborhood. In the back is a bar/cafe/restaurant. The baked oysters are great; so is the porchetta sandwich and the late night hot chicken sandwich. Beers come from some of the best breweries in the region and the staff knows a lot about them; the wines are good, too.
