Attracting a well-heeled crowd, Araxi Restaurant + Oyster Bar is one of the best spots in town. This high-end restaurant serves incredible food and has been a leader in the farm-to-table movement over the years. At the helm is Chef James Walt, a passionate locavore. Chef Walt lives in nearby Pemberton where he works with local farmers to source and pick the ingredients that show up on Araxi's menu. Because of this, you'll find local and seasonal ingredients throughout each dish. Here, it's not just about eating and enjoying the flavors, it's about taking in the experience with all of your senses. Each dish is as satisfying on the eyes as they are the palate. Thirsty? The abundant wine cellar is well stocked with a beautiful selection of fine wines.
