"I visited a new breakfast-and-lunch spot on Market Street from the brothers behind Woodhouse Fish Co. and West of Pecos and partner/chef August Shuchman; after a brief remodel they lightened up the space formerly occupied by the Spanish restaurant Aatxe into a sunny daytime destination. The menu ranges from lighter options like pastries and granola to full-on hash and eggs benedict for breakfast, with sandwiches and salads at lunch; there are also Swedish pancakes with huckleberries and open-faced sandwiches topped with gravlax and crème fraîche as a nod to the Swedish American Hall. Cocktails are available at all times (the restaurant shares a liquor license with downstairs Cafe du Nord), so expect Bloody Marys, spritzs and other daytime drinking classics, plus Sightglass coffee for those with “things to do.” At opening Wooden Spoon serves breakfast and lunch Wednesday–Sunday from 8 a.m.–3 p.m., with plans to expand to seven days a week within a few weeks." - Ellen Fort
