As much about craft cocktails as the creative, locally sourced menu, the Show Room has been pleasing the Eastside set for years and now has a new chef, plus a monthly guest chef dinner series. The small menu hits high notes with Southern-style quail and tender short ribs. Also, look out for beets roasted in corn husks. This place is a delight for all the senses. – Gracie Salem
