Death & Taxes•Downtown

American•$$

This restaurant, from renowned chef Ashley Christensen, is dedicated to the technique of cooking with wood fire. Dishes like roasted oysters with preserved lemon and chili butter; charcuterie with grilled bread and pickles; and embered mushrooms with ginger, miso, cashew butter, and scallion make up the menu. The space itself is sophisticated and sleek and the beverage program is not to be ignored. Death & Taxes is the whole package.
