Chef Peter Ungár’s prix fixe dinner destination is already a hidden gem, its high-end, esoteric cuisine tucked inside a Somerville warehouse that’s also home to a craft brewery. The natural wine bar, serving rare bottles and complementary snacks on Tuesday evenings—plus during late-night hours Wednesday through Saturday—is a gift within a gift, a nifty nesting doll revealing all sorts of exciting, affordable surprises that start at $8 per glass and represent sustainably harvested organic and biodynamic grapes.
