"Don't be fooled by the strip-mall setting: this hard-to-book dinner spot — whose owner/chef Nathan Bentley was named a 2024 James Beard Foundation Best Chef semi-finalist — serves refined dishes such as king crab mac and cheese and halibut in saffron butter with lemon-herb polenta, Castelvetrano tapenade, and asparagus; save room for dessert, especially the Pop Rocks–topped prosecco cheesecake." - Bailey Berg
