Source: "Owner Bradford Taylor opened Ordinaire while pursuing a Ph.D at the University of California, Berkeley with a dissertation on the sense of taste in early 20th century modernist literature." (in the lead); "Taylor opened Ordinaire while he was a doctoral candidate at UC Berkley, writing his dissertation on the sense of taste in modernist literature, or specifically, on [quote from source]" (in the "History" section).

 * Symbol confirmed.svg New enough, long enough, generally neutral (perhaps a little too positive, though it seems that many of the sources are indeed rave reviews) – some overlinking (cheese, "no one knows your name", Paris, etc.). Good hook (does it need to be mentioned in the lead of the article?). QPQ and image good. My only two things – and this does not delay the review – are that the lengthy paragraph quotations could possibly be shortened with paraphrase and that in the first section "Ordinaire and natural wine" you wrote the same thing in the first and third sentences (an error introduced in editing, likely).
