On the Grid : Per Diem
"Away from the commuter foot traffic, Per Diem is the place to meet for a casual business lunch or “after work drinks” with friends. The interior is “Gold Rush era” inspired with a nautical touch in the decor. Open for lunch and dinner, Per Diem has a great selection of both small plates and entrées, specifically a hearty charcuterie board and lobster fries. Their cocktail drinks are Per Diem’s strongest offering, featuring a menu that focuses heavily on whisky/whiskey varieties as seen in their Manhattan Project cocktail where you can concoct your personal version of the classic. Though the menu changes seasonal, beverage director, Bree Bojorquez recommends her favorite, Cal Salida (mezcal mixed with citrus) and current special, Rosé Fare (floral infused sparkling mixer). Our tip? Skip out of your last meeting early to hold a table for Happy Hour (4-6p) - the first floor is first come, first serve only." - outlier
