Blue Plate - more casual and neighborhoody than some of the other places. Plus you could get a drink at The Argus before/after.

Maverick would be nice as well, though you'd want to move on the reservation now. If they don't have one on OpenTable, then often have some room if you call.

Some top restaurants that would fall into "New American":

Acme Chophouse
Bix
Boulevard
Coco500
Fly Trap
Jack Falstaff
Maverick
Michael Mina
Myth
One Market
Range
Salt House
Scott Howard
Spork
Town Hall
TWO

Might be too few or too many on that list depending on where you draw the lines between New American, California, and French.
