My favorite places to eat and/or chill.
These places either have great food, a great patio/bar, or both!
On their refined menu, everything is fresh and savory. The atmosphere is cozy and personal. Great, local owner. It also has an AMAZING outdoor bar and patio with a cool vibe in warm weather, including live music.
