This place was made famous by Anthony Bourdain during his No Reservations days. Basically, you're eating in this master chef's kitchen. Definitely an idiosyncratic dining experience, but one that you'll be talking about for months, if not years. Definitely try the leg of lamb, not to mention the lamb cheek!
