With room for about 20 guests, illata isn't a big spot, but this neighborhood gem makes a big impression. This neighborhood BYOB shares a hit list of under a dozen small plates, emphasizing seafood and local produce while throwing in a few fun meat dishes. It all rotates with the seasons with approachable but thoughtful options that highlight familiar ingredients in creative ways (think carrots paired with crab and brown butter). Chilled mussels paired with pickled turnips are set over a miso dressing hit with chili oil for subtle heat, while grilled lamb skewers, glazed and finished with a small bundle of cilantro leaves and a few cherries, are sided by a dollop of black sesame sauce. Chocolate cake soaked with caramel and finished with crushed peanuts is a decadent finale.
