In an uncluttered, light-filled storefront space in Uptown, this hip neighborhood bistro opened by a husband-wife team with experience at some of New York City's and Seattle's top restaurants turns out some of the most flavorful locavore-driven cuisine on the peninsula. You might start with sunchoke soup with chives and truffle oil, before graduating to rabbit lasagna with sofrito and mustard greens, or seared scallops with romesco, cauliflower, and Meyer lemon.
On the first two floors of the 1889 Elks Lodge building, this elegant restaurant specializes in deftly prepared seafood, such as sashimi-grade seared lavender-pepper ahi tuna, lemon-dill-battered cod fish-and-chips, and local clams and mussels in garlic-shallot butter. You'll also find a selection of simpler fare, including Greek lamb burgers with truffle fries and Washington apple salads. For a more casual vibe and a bird's-eye view of the main dining room, have a seat in the swank mezzanine-level lounge—it's a nice spot to enjoy dessert and a glass of port.
