"We’ve gone on and on about Zuni Cafe’s iconic (and excellent) roast chicken. But here’s where we tell you that this copper-and-brick-filled space is at its best when you’re experiencing the holy combination of oysters and wine. This Civic Center classic excels in the bivalve department. Options are broken down by species and location, from Japan to Maine to the Pacific Northwest. This is where you swing by for a fancy lunch, admire the chicken art on the walls, and devour your oysters of choice alongside a mountain of perfectly crispy french fries.
