Barely Disfigured

Barely Disfigured, on Smith, presents its garden as a revelation. One walks past the unassuming facade, only to find more concrete, tastefully arranged, now with shrubbery. It’s a respectable effort, a backyard for those who still believe an aperitivo requires a journey beyond the front door. The cocktails are undoubtedly present. For optimal sun exposure and the illusion of continental leisure, aim for a late afternoon in spring.
