It's a classic neighborhood standby, where friends, families and chic couples congregate for drinks at the copper-topped bar. Flanked by organic groceries, indie bookstores and antique shops, its environs speak of peace, weaving a bohemian spell that captivates both regulars and rookies alike. Seasonal Californian cooking with an Italian bent dominates this tavern's menu, and a "butcher block" of well-prepared charcuterie — pork rillettes seasoned with Aleppo pepper, sumac, and lime — is a prudent way to start your meal. Bucatini with a beef and pork ragu bolognese or pan-roasted half chicken with fingerling potatoes are comforting choices. End with crème brûlée cheesecake with yuzu curd.
