This farm-to-table restaurant in the Funk Zone is a local favorite. The changing menu pays tribute to the four seasons, showcasing the region’s bountiful produce with plates that come out looking like a work of art. The Cast Iron Cauliflower Gratin and the Grilled Spanish Octopus represent popular choices. They’ve extended their parking lot to accommodate al-fresco seating, but make your reservations in advance as this local spot typically books up.
