"Major Tom is the slightly more buttoned-down sister restaurant from the people behind Beckon, located just next door. The dimly-lit space brings to mind dusk on a space shuttle, and with just 30 seats and a killer sparkling wine and champagne program, it’s ideal for date night. The restaurant’s namesake is subtly reflected in the astronaut on its menu and the decor (look for the outdoor lunar mural and moon cycle wallpaper). Grab a table on the string light- and fire pit-furnished patio, or cozy up on a pillow-lined wooden bench. You can also sidle up to the tiny chef’s counter inside and watch as the kitchen churns out platters of oysters and baskets of piping hot french fries, perfectly charred miso-glazed cabbage, and toasted sourdough crowned with burrata and mushrooms." - allyson reedy, patricia kaowthumrong
