SCENE: Creative types crowd this funky local hangout that’s reminiscent of an artsy Cheers. A gnarled tree grows from the middle of a table, giving the dark, roomy space a Burton-esque feel.

EATS: Jumbo portions of American comfort food with Cajun accents dominate the menu. Rib-sticking classics include mac-and-cheese and fried chicken, but the specials generally feature healthier options, such as a pecan-encrusted Fulton Farms natural chicken breast on a bed of creamy butternut squash and a lightly breaded mahi mahi with mango salsa. An extensive wine list sweetens the deal.
