The Arroyo Club

Still friendly with (and slightly outshined by) Good Housekeeping off the back patio, this reimagining of Cafe Birdie splits the former restaurant into the loungey, foliage-draped Arroyo Club and the carb purveyor the Hotline. The latter makes use of the kitchen to whip up burgers (beef optional), egg sandwiches, grilled cheeses and a couple of variations on fried potatoes for $14 or less. From the signature cocktails to mocktails, Arroyo Club’s drinks have a Latin-Caribbean flair to them without steering into tiki territory, and they’re inventive without alienating patrons.
