Early Review for EAT Oregon Hill

A neighbor had this to say about the new restaurant which has replaced Pescados China Street:

I just got back from dinner and drinks here. The change is very welcome! The food is cheaper and more diverse and the new menu is awesome. They have 2 excellent house-made sodas and house-made ice cream/sorbet. They have a drink named after each of the Oregon Hill streets, the Cherry St was most excellent. The brunch menus appears to be solid still, my friends who came to visit rave about the chicken and waffle at Pescados all the time, so I was happy to see that still there. I’d highly recommend it!
