August Description:
August is a bustling little gem, with additional patio seating located just past the big wood-burning oven from which much of the menu's Franco-Mediterranean food is prepared. Blessedly, the ceiling is lined with cork, which cuts down considerably on the noise in this small space. August's bread, baked on the premises, is first-rate. The little bar is the place to park for a while and nibble on that bread along with some Spanish ham and a glass of wine. The menu changes seasonally---some standout dishes include the sautéed chicken livers with smoked eggplant caponata, pine nuts and black sesame and for an entrée the Spanish mackerel a la plancha with baby artichokes, cucumber, grapes and toasted almond milk. The daily selection of oysters and the raw bar are always first-rate, and be sure to save room for one of the desserts or something from the ever-changing assortment of artisanal cheeses. August's wine list is broad and includes a nice sampling of Belgian beers.
