Zuni has been reinventing basic menu items as gourmet staples since 1979. Reservations
and fat wallets are necessary, but see-and-be-seen seating is a kick and the cocktails and
food are beyond reproach: organic beef burgers on focaccia, Caesar salad with house-
cured anchovies, wood-fired-oven-roasted chicken with horseradish mashed potatoes, and
impeccable chocolate pudding.

Consider it frontier justice for the indecisive: order your $3.50
banh mi
sandwich when
the lunch ladies of the Saigon call you, or you'll get skipped. Act fast and be rewarded
with a baguette piled high with your choice of roast pork, chicken, pâté, meatballs and/or
tofu, plus pickled carrots, cilantro, jalapeño and thinly sliced onion.

Three words you're not likely to hear together outside these doors describe the menu: op-
ulent vegan dining. GMO-free and proud of it, with wild mushrooms and organic fruit fea-
turing in sumptuous seasonal concoctions. Reserve ahead for monthly themed feasts, es-
pecially aphrodisiac dinners and vegetarian Thanksgiving.
