Beatrix buzzes with business types, ladies who lunch and tourists staying at the attached hotel. Light-wood tables and mason jars full of seeds form the rustic decor. The all-encompassing menu spans shakshuka (poached eggs in tomato sauce) to pot-roast sandwiches to chili-and-chocolate-glazed salmon. With lots of gluten-free and vegetarian options to boot, Beatrix is a crowd-pleaser.
