Rustic L.E.S.

Editorial Review

Moroccan/Mediterranean fare is spruced-up version of Bistro Truck’s offerings. Locally sourced produce and beer. Petite dining room plus a backyard, reclaimed wood furnishings in keeping with the moniker. Between the fried sardines and the schwa-slow-roasted lamb shoulder, a bit steeper, bit swankier than the truck. The lamb burger with goat cheese still there for the fans, plus braised rabbit pappardelle and gratin potatoes.
