The new Hall Street Bakery, sister establishment to the thriving Wealthy Street Bakery, is already a local family-favorite with an easy-going, bistro vibe and hearty fare from its unique stone-hearth oven. Famous for its scones and breads (hence the “bakery” in the title), this neighborhood joint close to downtown features a kids menu, with favorites like pizza for $5, and grown-up entrees such as braised beef short ribs, sourdough crusted salmon and flavorful apple quinoa salad. Hang out on the patio in the morning with a cup of locally roasted brew and a lemon poppy seed muffin, or with a glass of wine and an appetizer (clams and ale, breads and spreads) as the sun sets over Hall Street. A dedicated gluten-free kitchen, sealed off from the regular kitchen, means there are plenty of options for those with dietary restrictions.
