EDWINS
EDWINS offers delicious French-influenced food and wonderful service. They also employ formerly incarcerated workers and give them valuable hospitality training and experience.

Larder Delicatessen
Larder Delicatessen & Bakery is an Old World-style deli with chefs who have been nominated for James Beard Awards multiple times, yet the prices are still wallet-friendly.

Salt+ is run by Jill Vedaa, a three-time James Beard nominee, and offers a variety of new plates for each season along with some routine favorites that are sure to impress.
Each seasonal menu is divided into three sections: vegetables, fish, and meat. A recent menu featured oyster mushroom kebabs, coal-grilled sardines, and pork schnitzel.
