Eureka!

The cool, casual concept restaurant boasts a big-time burger menu. There’s an option topped with fig marmalade and goat cheese, one with pickled jalapeños and a fried egg, and another adorned with bone-marrow butter. A housemade beet-and-kidney-bean patty will satisfy veg-heads. The eatery is just as well-known for its bustling bar, which stocks an impressive roster of craft beer and small-batch whiskeys.
