Just shoot me...just when my foodie wife and I thought we had figured out our downtown gourmet foodie ranking (Gfr) we stumble into a new place that tweaks the palate and hoses it up. Larkin's is the new addition to our runway; Salmon (don't know how they get the crunch and internal temp so right), Trout (crispy skin, or not), and the au Gratin spuds were outf------g standing. All of it, service, greeting, attention, all the way around! Cliff
