Eszett (CLOSED)

With a delicious menu that defies categorization and a well-curated list of natural wines, Eszett just has that particular je ne sais quoi that makes for a great neighborhood restaurant. Run by married couple Spencer and Sabrina Bezaire, the kitchen churns out a selection of high-low dishes with a little bit of something for everyone, including the ever-popular fish sandwich and a tartine-style riff on shrimp toast. Stylish touches and houseplants make the narrow dining room feel special enough for dates, but the relaxed approach to service and approachable menu prices put Eszett squarely within reach of many people's weekly dining budgets. Plus, on the off chance you need to wait for a table, there's always room to stand at the counter outside with a glass of wine.
