A corner spot on 16th with a sun-warmed patio that draws the neighborhood whether it's brunch or post-work drinks. The California comfort menu earns its depth: Potato Pizza with nduja, shaved fingerlings, and lemon vinaigrette; a Fried Chicken Sandwich brined in buttermilk and finished with hot honey; Pan Roasted Black Mussels in Thai-spiced coconut broth. Reservations are smart; the back patio goes first.
