There's not a lot of choice for the foodie on a budget. The desire to provide high quality, affordable sustainable cuisine that focuses on local producers is a major inspiration behind Sellers Market. This commitment is apparent on their take out menus and their menu boards -- both call out key suppliers such as Cowgirl Creamery, Cypress Grove, and Niman Ranch and explicitly state the Sellers Market mission of supporting area producers.

The bright space has surprisingly comfortable booths and tables, and sports a sound system heavy on Depeche Mode and Bjork if my recent visits are any gauge. There's also a selection of hip design and city magazines to peruse while you wait for your order to be assembled in the exhibition kitchen in front of you. Throughout the space, wood from an old red barn rests aside sleek metal, giving the restaurant a uniquely rustic urban feel. -- Erika Christiansen
