Chanterelle
Named after one of the most delicious mushrooms known to mankind, this “modern American” restaurant is one of Stone Harbor’s gems. Despite its American leanings, it features plenty of dishes with global influences. Highlights include west coast halibut, pork chops, and of course, plates of roasted wild mushrooms. You can also opt for a five-course tasting menu if you are feeling adventurous (and extra hungry!). Be aware that this establishment caters to more formal guests with a basic dress code. You also won’t find many child-friendly options here.
Toastique
As its name implies, this restaurant is famous for its “gourmet toast.” While many of the other names on this list only serve dinner, this location is open for breakfast and brunch.
