O'Keeffe Café

Frommer's Review

Following Georgia O'Keeffe's appreciation for sparse interiors, this restaurant has refined minimalist decor, with much more elaborate food. It's a place of clean lines and innovative color use. Large black-and-white photographs of O'Keeffe stirring stew and serving tea adorn the walls. This is a good place to stop in between museums or, in the warm months, to sit on the open patio and watch the summer scene pass by. The food is excellent, but for a nice dinner (in winter), the atmosphere lags behind that of places in a similar price range, such as Santacafé and Geronimo. The menu is eclectic, with a good balance of chicken, lamb, fish, and vegetarian dishes, some in fancy salad and sandwich form (at lunch), along with more elaborate entree offerings. Most recently, I had the crab cakes with chipotle aioli, and my friend tried duck confit on a sun-dried tomato and roasted garlic cake topped with crispy carrots and finished with a saffron-and-basil-infused tomato jus. There's also a children's menu. The restaurant has a notable wine list and offers periodic wine tasting menus.
