"Grey Gardens lives up to its bohemian-luxe address in Kensington Market; it's just vintage enough without feeling dowdy. Part wine bar and part restaurant, Grey Gardens has small snacks, medium, and full-sized plates. There's an emphasis on seafood here, with standouts including sweet shrimp with compressed watermelon radishes. But don't leave without trying the dry-aged Peking-style duck breast, which is served on homemade sauerkraut and duck fried rice. The real joy here is the wine list, which is stocked with everything from hard-to-find and private-order bottles to biodynamic selections, organic Burgundies, and orange wines. Luckily for neophytes, the menu offers easy-to-understand tasting notes. Pop in for a glass of rare Sauternes and a snack after work (no reservations required), or come with a friend to linger over dinner in the back dining room (reservations only)." - Todd Plummer
