Slow lives up to its credo of presenting gourmet food crafted from local ingredients at judicious prices. Once inside this slightly sized refuge, place your order at the counter, and then take a seat at one among a handful of tables in the jovial, yellow-walled front area featuring an open kitchen. Note—for those looking to linger, dine out back in the pretty rose garden. The roster of Californian dishes spins to the season and expectedly gushes with flavor. While some may start with a chilled beet and savoy salad tossed with tangy goat cheese and a refreshing Meyer lemon citronette; others may opt to dive straight into meaty ox tail braised until falling off the bone and coupled with caramelized pieces of sunchoke, heirloom carrot, and cauliflower.
