"Inside this historic, two-story brick building in the center of downtown, 900 Wall is a favorite with longtime locals. Executive chef Cliff Eslinger uses locally sourced, responsibly grown ingredients to prepare things like duck cassoulet and Vaquero Valley Ranch & Apricot Farms meatballs, as well as house charcuterie like chicken liver pate and mortadella. The daily happy hour from 3 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. offers wild shrimp or oysters on the half shell, as well as fried green beans. Those in the know won’t miss the fluffy beignets with dipping sauce for dessert." - Barb Gonzalez, Jeffrey Stull
