There’s “creative comfort food and a hip enough” vibe at this “stylish” Scott Circle New American “to make you feel like you’re in New York” where similar venues (albeit in less “nondescript hotels”) combine “off-lobby” dining with a “happening bar” for “très cool” drinks and “inventive” appetizers, all of which help a “trendy” crowd forgive the service “kinks.”
