"Inside the brewery's kitchen I found a brand-new restaurant rolling out dishes like smoked salmon Benedict, grilled octopus, and green chile burgers, with a menu that now leans heavily on the grill. Small plates include grilled broccolini with black garlic aioli and tamari-ginger vin, grilled lamb skewers brightened with gremolata, and a grilled shoulder tender paired with pickled mushrooms and smoked potato. Executive chef Craig Day draws on Southwestern traditions—there are kale salads with crunchy corn nuts and other regional touches—and brunch borrows from dinner with items such as corn cakes with whipped lemon ricotta, a breakfast burrito with carnitas and hash browns, and sweet potato latkes with roasted tomatoes, fall pesto, and pickled mushrooms. The restaurant reopened October 12 after being redecorated with art and a significant spirits collection, and Mike Duggan is handling a cocktail menu that includes a rotating $5 drink; note that the kitchen is not reliant on a wood-fired oven." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
