Why we like it
We appreciate places that don't try too hard. INI works because the food is straightforward, the cocktails are honest, the staff actually care, and the room feels lived-in rather than designed. It's the kind of spot you can return to without ceremony—for a weeknight pizza, a birthday dinner, or just to sit and drink well in company.
