Here’s a proper photo tour of Anella, now occupying the space that was vacated by Queen’s Hideaway last fall. Per this week’s Openings: “If chef Michael Sullivan’s menu is less brazenly quirky than his predecessor’s, it’s no less appealing. To wit: various terrines, mozzarella in carrozza, bacon-and-pepperoni pizza, wild salmon, shell steak with marrow gremolata, and Stumptown-coffee frozen tiramisu.” The rest of the former Chanterelle toque’s offerings are below.
