Vinaigrette

The build-out of the former Tree House Italian Grill is as fresh as the leafy comestibles that make up the bulk of the menu; blond-wood tables anchored by bright red chairs, vaulted white ceilings, and, best of all, a wall of windows framing the giant oak tree on the patio. Drinks are made with fresh-squeezed juices; That Green Drink (kale, celery, tequila) is a boozy garden in a glass. As for the food, this New Mexico import calls itself a “salad bistro,” offering greens in every configuration, all of which can be topped with some sort of protein, like lemon-herb chicken or seared scallops. Soups and a few sandwiches (like toasted sourdough layered with cumin-rubbed turkey and avocado) round out the options.
