Duarte's Tavern

Fodor's Review:

Though it has been noted by national press, this 19th-century roadhouse continues to serve simple American fare with a modest, hometown attitude. The restaurant's bar, for instance, is a great place to sip a whiskey; but it's also the local liquor store, which means some locals take their orders to go. The dining room is no frills, but offers a solid menu based on locally grown vegetables and fresh fish. House specialties include abalone ($40), artichoke soup, and old-fashioned berry pie à la mode (which Life magazine once named best in the United States).
