"There’s a decent amount of characteristics in the center of the NIU Kitchen/Boia De Venn diagram. Trendy restaurant, natural wines, excellent small plates, and cute little date spot are all in there. The big difference is that NIU Kitchen serves a Spanish/Catalan menu, but it’s nonetheless delicious. They make a wonderful cold tomato soup with frozen mustard and a dish called ous, a creamy bowl of poached eggs and truffled potato foam. Plus, it’s just a nice place to hang out and have a lazy dinner with a bottle of wine or two." - ryan pfeffer
