This Southwest neighborhood oasis serves lunch, dinner, and weekend brunch. The varied, hard to define menu spans from tuna tartare to lettuce wraps, sandwiches and salads, and above-average stir fry, pastas, fish, and meat entrées with international influences. The cocktail lounge is a popular spot, showcasing live jazz. – Claudia Alarcón
