Black walls, wood banquettes and high communal tables in the dark interior nestle together creating a small nook of a dining room. Though The Corner Door portrays itself as a gastropub, the menu is more a reflection of well-executed New American cuisine.

Snacks include charcuterie, cheese, olives and oysters. Cider-glazed wings are crispy, salty and sweet, with a marinade of chipotle and brown sugar. A salad of avocado and summer squash is a welcomingly light option, with a green goddess dressing, before the richer entrees. Roast breast of chicken is kept moist under a crisped skin, and served atop a Moroccan-influenced bed of couscous and yogurt, and finished with a few leaves of fried basil.

The food and cocktails are fantastic. It's time to head on down to The Corner Door.
