Trendy, elegant and yet comfortably cozy, Literati II is fast becoming a force to reckon with. This chic eatery has diners streaming in for both its ambiance and its mix of Californian and Mediterranean cuisine. Chef Chris Kidder cooks up a cornucopia of dishes—soups, burgers, bruschettas, steak frites and much more. Don't leave without trying the sublime churros dipped in chocolate pudding. Literati II opens at 5.30 pm on weekdays and at 6 pm on Fridays and Saturdays for dinner. Check website for other details.
