Better late than never? Now a couple weeks open, Riffle (333 NW 13th ave) debuted a select few bites and ample cocktails to friends and media a couple weeks ago and their ice was the talk of the town. The food was solid, the drinks danced between standard and innovative, and the space was gorgeous (ropes are trending hard this year, apparently)... but this happening right outside the front door had to be a stand-out feature:

riffles cool, but somethings just a bit fishy...
  • clare gordon
  • riffle's cool, but something's just a bit fishy...

This guy's going to have to work at lightning speed as the weather gets warmer.

Anyway, Ken Norris (of New York's August) has officially opened his new seafood concept restaurant to the general public to a generally great reception. Insert pun about cool restaurants here.
