Master Critic Review
Cookshop
8.4
Market-driven New American cooking where the burger-and-fries combo is the quiet star. The fries skew slender and deeply browned, with a mineral potato flavor that holds up to their bright sauces and seasonal mains. A polished but unfussy room makes this a dependable sit-down fries destination.
