The name Maverick might suggest a brazen menu of irreverent or odd combinations, but its space and menu scream simple, authentic, masculine Americana. The restaurant is rustic yet clubby, with lots of wood, dim lighting, notable volume and much wine consumption (with elegant stemware to boot). The menu trots around the U.S., with appetizers such as plump, low country shrimp served on grits gussied up with green onion, and a California-inspired salad of roasted, diced beets and Sonoma goat cheese. Entrées include duck, halibut and an herb- and pepper-sauced steak with frites. But the true charmer is the duo of quail stuffed with decadent duxelles of crimini mushrooms and pork belly, resting on a bed of frisée and sourdough bread salad. Maverick's fried chicken is in demand, but check the menu or call first, as it isn't served every night. Desserts are homey, such as summery peach crisp and warm chocolate cake.
