A mahogany bar anchors one end while a giant abstract mural anchors the other, and in between, marina lights hang above wooden booths full of regulars who clearly regard this as their personal dining room. Sur Lie is a tapas-style New American spot where small, eclectic plates rotate through whatever the kitchen finds interesting. A James Beard semifinalist for Outstanding Hospitality, the warmth here is structural, not performed.

Porchetta with bacon-braised beans
“Chef Sam Helmke’s porchetta with bacon-braised beans and stewed greens is beautiful enough to deserve its own Rembrandt still-life, but it’s too good not to eat instead, thanks to a dollops of onion jam and smoky tomato vinaigrette.”
