Capsule review:
Is it a bar? Is it a restaurant? Yes and yes. ``Bar'' means it's smoky -- that's the downside. Foodwise, chef Alex Jenkins delivers. The Americanized Mediterranean menu runs from snacks to generously sized entrees, such as braised lamb shanks with butternut squash fregola (large couscous) or grilled salmon with arugula, leek, and smoked fennel salad. Save room for homemade ice cream.
