Review:
Most of us know Huckleberry as the breakfast/brunch/lunch spot that has a bakery full of bread, cakes, cookies, cupcakes, puddings, and other sugared delights that will make their way in to your meal no matter how full you happen to be.

Cherry heriloom tomato salad

But everyone needs to eat dinner, and as the restaurant-child of Zoe Nathan and Josh Loeb, Huckleberry decided to bring Sunday supper to the weeknight when, quite possibly, we need it the most. Starting at 6pm and serving till 9pm, while you can't get reservations (you won't need them) you can get a 3.5 course meal via cafe-style seating and family-style plating.

OTC Tip: "Family-style" means each course (minus the main and dessert) is served on one platter and you serve yourself.

Strawberry rhubarb galette

With a fixed menu that changes every week and includes a vegetarian option, Huckleberry promises to feed you no matter the number of mouthes you bring or how much time you have to eat. Also available to-go, you really have no excuse not to make Thursday night dinner the new Sunday night supper.
