MICHELIN Guide's Point Of View

This large "enclosed" restaurant is tucked inside the multi-use Hauser & Wirth Arts Complex. If that doesn't clue you in on its creative bent, the very conceptual art and open-plan kitchen will surely do the trick. The dining room meanders between a marble bar donning silver bowls of fruit, edgy light fixtures, and whitewashed brick walls. The cooking is strong, focused, and Southern leaning. Inspired by deer camps from the local farming community, the venison burger sandwiched between brioche with pickled green tomato and fried leeks is top of the charts. Sprinkled with benne seeds, Gulf shrimp aguachile with cucumber and avocado is enriched by a ginger-lime dressing. Excellent desserts await, but for a simple finale go for one of the house-made sorbets.
