American Elm

American restaurant · West Highland

"Per the name, a stately tree indeed graces the twinkling patio at this West Highland haunt, providing ample shade for guests who find equal comfort in a menu that straddles the line between approachability and elegance: Think burrata fritters with charred lemon, steak frites with bone marrow butter, and a brilliant buttermilk pie. The bar follows suit via cocktails like the Trompo, a mezcal-based drink with pineapple-jalapeño shrub, chili oil, and sal de gusano (worm salt). A well-priced wine list featuring such off-the-beaten path stuff as Chenin Blanc from Amador County and Valtellina Superiore." - Gigi Sukin, Ruth Tobias
