- Trey Popp finds that Sam Mink's revamped Oyster House hits all the right notes � the menu's more ambitious than your average seafood restaurant's, but they don't take it too far. "I don't usually go looking for raw oysters in late July," he writes, "but it was hard to go wrong here."
- David Snyder heads up Baltimore Avenue to The Gold Standard Caf�, from Abbraccio's former owners. An overreaching menu renders some dishes disappointing, but he does dig up a number of tasty highlights.
- Lock in your food itinerary for the week with What's Cooking � the Stephen Starr/Garry Maddox BBQ cook-off and an Allagash beer dinner at Fork are just two upcoming draws.
- Feeding Frenzy has word of three openings � Avril, Sakana Sushi Caf� and the new Shank's Original.
