Mondays: vodka Teeny Tini $8 with a full-price mussel pot, all night.
A mussel-focused restaurant where the entire menu orbits one pot, done in enough variations to fill a full dinner menu alongside oysters and a raw bar. The fries come loaded with shredded cheese and a dipping sauce, the mac and cheese arrives in a mini skillet, and the whole thing pairs better with a cold beer than anything on the wine list.
