Literary types may especially appreciate the décor of Literati II, which features framed portraits of writers and artful renditions of pencils, but everyone can appreciate the masterful compositions of seasonal flavors crafted by Chef Chris Kidder. Bistro fare meets farmer's market in dishes ranging from gourmet burgers (including venison, pork or veggie options), to cioppino, salmon, crab cakes and more. Kidder's wife, Kimberly Sklar, tempts diners with indulgent desserts, such as airy churros served with warm bittersweet chocolate for dipping. Literati II also offers weekend brunch and outside seating on the new patio, where ferns, flowers and a fountain will help you forget you're surrounded by the bustle of the city.
