American/New American

Breakfast, Brunch, Lunch

$$

Yes, the space at the foot of Yesler is a little ungainly, but breakfast, brunch and lunch exude all the midcentury America charm as the name itself. Salads, sandwiches, and mac and cheese look basic, but there’s an art to an open-face tuna melt that tastes bright and beautiful, to a flawless French dip, and to knowing that mac and cheese can be improved with some housemade chorizo.
