Cross Keys goes south of the border, way south. Luna Oaxaca brings mezcal, mole, and the kind of Oaxacan recipes that turn dinner into a cultural trip.
Charles Village is spicing things up. Lao Sze Chuan serves Sichuan with swagger, dumplings that melt in your mouth, Kung Pao chicken with a kick, and a whole roasted sea bass that arrives like a showpiece.
Chef Chris Amendola takes farm-to-table to the vineyard. Parked at Black Ankle, his food truck serves roasted chicken, sourdough focaccia with ricotta and peaches, and fresh seasonal salads, all best enjoyed with a glass of rosé and mountain views.
Coffee + dessert + cats. Espresso poured over gelato is the star here, but honestly, the furry friends stealing your seat are the real reason to stay.
