The fried shrimp comes with aioli, the zucchini blossoms are stuffed, and the whole thing sits next door to Chez Panisse, which is either coincidence or not. Alice Waters is behind this too, a casual wine bar where the farm-to-table reverence is intact but the menu reads lighter and less ceremonious than its famous neighbor. The New York Times gave it two stars in 2026, which for a neighborhood spot serving butter beans is a lot to live down.

Fried shrimp with aioli
“her simple, unfussy and sharply executed menu of dishes — like fried shrimp with aioli, stuffed zucchini blossoms with sweet peperonata and platters of creamy butter beans — is very much in tune with the way we eat right now.”
