Striking a pose between friendly and refined, this spot has comforting food, a cozy setting, and polished service. Chef Erwin Dreschsler often patrols the dining room of his namesake restaurant, greeting regulars. The straightforward, seasonal menu may look ordinary—roasted chicken with chili-pepper sauce and one of the city's best burgers—but the skillful cooking and vibrant flavors gives you new respect for simplicity. The booths by the front windows are the best for views of neighborhood comings and goings.
