Sophon
An ode to Khmer heritage and the culinary traditions that Cambodian refugees carried with them to America, this restaurant serves excellent upscale modern cuisine imbued with lessons on history and culture. Bold spice pastes and fragrant herbs fill the plates here, and even carry over to the cocktail menu. The mix of small and large plates makes it easy to stop for an afternoon snack or to sit down to a Cambodian feast amid the owner's family photos and traditional weavings hanging on the walls.
