Concierge.com's insider take:
Tilth doesn't just use organic ingredients here and there—it's a certified organic restaurant (there are only a few such places in the whole country). Of course, that wouldn't mean a thing if the food wasn't great, and celeb chef Maria Hines's small-plates menu is full of winners. Everyone raves about the crisp pork belly, and succulent duck provides a nice twist on the mini-burger fad. Greens are also good—embellished with hazelnuts and blood oranges, for example. This place gets you out of Downtown's gourmand ghetto and into a cute Craftsman house in low-key Wallingford. The tiny dining room has the feel of a home spruced up for a dinner party, which unfortunately gets very loud when full: Don't dine during peak hours if you want intimacy.
Closed Mondays.
