This (mostly) vegetarian restaurant is under the deft hand of chef and co-owner Shawn McClain, who also operates Spring. Years after its opening, foodies---including the carnivorous sort---continue to storm this place for dishes like creamy burrata with Concord grape gastrique, favas and an elderflower cracker. The concise menu, while healthy, also is decadent and dramatic. We’ve enjoyed the ricotta gnocchi accented with honey, roasted fig, preserved lemon and arugula; the cannellini bean stew with rainbow chard, brioche and smoky scallion butter; and the shaved artichoke salad with Parmesan, preserved lemons and red pepper foam. Check out the affordable tasting menu---it’s $55 for four savory and one dessert course; it can be paired with wine ($35) or creative, non-alcoholic drinks, like pink peppercorn-thyme soda ($20).
