This place was started by a chef that no longer wanted to work late nights - so he opened a restaurant that only does breakfast and made sure he did it well. He succeeded. Local hidden gem. Be sure to try to 'Elvis' breakfast.

While Lot Six is a restaurant, I think the cocktail menu is the highlight. Plus, their atrium in the back is magical - perfect for sharing a bottle of bubbles with that someone special.
