Whenever friends or family visit, these are the spots I love taking them to. In the Midwest, we don't have the amazing ocean, but we do have some fun things to do around the cities.

Sea Jax Tavern gives me the welcoming “Cheers Bar” feeling! I love their food, not a bad thing on their menu! One of my go-to's is Cocktail (Jumbo) Shrimp with Old Bay seasoning and their Boom Boom sauce for dipping!
Sea Jax Tavern
Mama DiSalvo's, if you are craving Italian cuisine, this is so delicious! Mama use to walk to the shop very early every morning to make the sauce (gravy, as the Italian's call it). They sell their pasta sauce in our local grocery stores
