"Mentally, you’re on a Northeastern coast at this dreamy Halcyon restaurant, where whites and navies, light woods and ropes, and a big pergola patio work together to give that impression. Going with the theme, New England clam chowder, hot buttered lobster rolls, and cast iron crabcakes are good moves but don’t limit yourself to that region when bouillabaisse is in pasta form and you can get masa-breaded oysters on a sandwich. From the “acre,” there’s smoked then grilled pork with paprika-guava glaze and steak toppings that range from port wine to chimichurri." - Alex Leo-Guerra
