"Open for: Lunch Thursday to Saturday, brunch Sundays, and dinner nightly Price range: $$$ It’s no surprise that chef Vaughn Good, who spent some time as a butcher, turns out excellent cured meats, smoked sausages, and lamb chops cooked over the restaurant’s wood-fired hearth. But Good carves a carrot with just as much care, building out a menu with surprisingly delicate flavors and occasional French influences. Know before you go: Vegetarians will have limited options here; both the lunch and dinner menus are meat-forward." - Liz Cook
