That spot at the corner of Anapamu and Chapala streets not long ago held a little Pakistani grocer, then an Italian bistro, then a nightclub, and then a Venetian-style wine bar. Now, it harbors the most buzzed-about restaurant in town. Upscale cuisine in a tiny room that doesn’t take reservations but is packed most nights since it opened, The Hungry Cat, owned by David Lentz and his spouse, Suzanne Goin, with Chef Dylan Fultineer at the cooking helm, has a menu that emphasizes seafood and inspired combinations — though skillfully grilled bread seems important here, too. It’s the readers’ tasteful choice.
