The Mackenzie Room is a tiny, character-packed Railtown space whose chalkboard menu has never listed the same thing twice, because the nose-to-tail, seed-to-fork kitchen cooks whatever hit seasonal peak that morning. Hand the night over and do the tasting menu, guaranteed to include one weird-good dish you didn't expect. A 4.6 across 1,000-plus reviews means you book ahead, always.
