RESTAURANT REVIEW

Jason Hammel’s s restaurant stands for the proposition that if you build it they will come. Opened as a neighborhood restaurant in 1999, it was well ahead of the curve in the local and sustainable restaurant movement – so much so that as the movement grew around the country the restaurant attained a national reputation. This is one of the few restaurants of its type that is open all day long, and the kitchen puts in the same amount of effort preparing breakfast dishes like Rushing Waters smoked trout scramble as they do for entrées like stuffed rabbit loin for dinner.
