Reunion Kitchn Bar

Even though we scream, “Vanna, we’d like to buy a vowel” every time we see this restaurant’s name, we ignore the obvious because the food is really xcellent—heh—at this buzzy neighborhood strip mall spot. The industrial chic, hip, cozy, reclaimed wood-sy vibe immediately makes you forget you’re sandwiched between a dentist’s office and a pizza place, but it’s the food that really takes you on a trip. Small “bites,” shared plates and main courses include Truffle-shitake croquettes, Swiss cheese fondue, crispy Iberian artichokes, naan bread, Moroccan pastilla, and sushi—because everyone has sushi—make you kind of ask “where am I?” but each taste is authentically good. An adjacent lounge gives speakeasy vibes with smoking cocktails—some literally, others, like the black truffle old fashioned with black truffle honey and chocolate bitters, more figuratively.
