Most people opt for Jacob's Pickles, but my choice is the sister restaurant, Maison Pickle. I love the high ceilings, friendly servers, and pull apart bread!!

Manny's is the best. Try the escargot & chat with the kind owner, Manny, and you'll see why!

The Leopard is a bit more formal than the others in this list, but I'm including it because it is one of the best dining experiences I have ever had. The servers are exceptional and the gnocchi changed my life!!
