I think the world would really benefit from a few names being given more frequently. You know–just bringing back some of the classics:

If you like salt, then The Grocery Bistro is for you.
A trendy new restaurant with poor design (menu font, website, color selection) but decent decor, The Grocery Bistro is bringing the best from Morton’s of Chicago (the salt producer, not the famed steakhouse) to just west of the loop.
