"When the current form of Stir Crazy first opened on Melrose, it gave the neighborhood the kind of chilled-out wine bar you’d find in Echo Park or a repurposed shipping container by the river. Which is to say, there’s lots of natural wine, snacky food like celery salads and anchovies, and tables filled with up-and-coming comedians with Netflix specials in the works. Those things are still there, only now the food menu is bigger, so if you want a full dinner experience, you can have one. Standout dishes include the rockfish carpaccio in brown butter, bratwurst-y sausages and buttery potato salad, and flaky black cod….in a bath of butter. Maybe you sense a theme." - brant cox
