César

This pioneering tapas bar shares the same space and uncompromising standards as Chez Panisse. Serving small plates of vibrant Spanish-style food, César looks like a restaurant but is really more of a bar-café hybrid. Tapas such as fresh shrimp in paprika and garlic oil, a crock of spicy salt cod, and sandwiches with spare but flavorful fillings are designed to go with cocktails. Lunch and dinner daily.
