"Dame’s Patrick McKee’s gazpacho ups the ante on both sweetness and heat, topping his blended soup with grilled peaches and padrón peppers, infused with rich olive oil and a multidimensional sherry vinegar. Savor an invigorating bowl at Dame’s air-conditioned bar alongside a glass of one of owner Jane Smith’s natural wines, as a light later afternoon treat or as an opening act to McKee’s daily fish offering, carpaccio, or a bowl of vegan pesto pasta. Note that McKee’s menu is offered Thursday through Sunday." - Nathan Williams
