Local tip: Eat on the bar side if there are just two of you. New American cuisine. Don't miss the lamb chops and the fries. Very convivial. Sunday brunch is a great way to start the day.

Excellent vegan food even for those of us who aren't vegan. Don't miss the deep fried tofu bites, though I'm not a fan of the vegan mac and cheese. Thursday nights they have poetry and music.
