Good, farm-to-table food in a laid back environment. The ingredients are locally sourced & fresh. If there is a wait for tables, give them your cell & head to Ost Cafe for some wine while you wait.

Ost Cafe

Our favorite place for ramen. It's on the top of a lot of other folks' lists too, though, so go before 7:00 for the 2-for-1 happy hour specials at the bar and a shorter wait for a table.

A nice place to go for dinner, but we usually use it as our go-to Italian spot for delivery. The fusilli is pretty much a no-brainer.

Not really in the neighborhood, but not super far away either. It's worth the walk to experience a warming menu in an inviting environment. Careful not to get lost though, it really is down an alley.

It's a bit pricey for what it is, but their "Feast" menus (which are simply tasting menus driven by one particular ingredient) are quite tasty. The beautiful, rustic interior helps justify the cost.
