I see your point for sure, but I think of them as both restaurants that are fundamentally based on cooking good ingredients relatively simply but with some imagination. Also, both restaurants have a fairly relaxed atmosphere for...

Haven’t been to the Bansheem although a lot of my friends like it. Move a little further down Dot Ave. and you’ll find the Harp & Bard. Definitely a dive! A few years ago when Gino was cooking there the food was great...
