Cafe Mutton is extraordinary. The chef Shaina has worked at 11 Madison Park, Back Bar, and Fish & Game among others, and here makes incredible and proudly "tan" foods out of local ingredients. They have a great brunch and lunch, and on weekends often have special evening menus and cocktails (check their Instagram on Fridays and Saturdays). Some of our favorite things: toffee crackers, sticky bun. rice porridge, scrapple and eggs, fried bologna sandwich, and their daily specials.
