Great beer selection, tons of taps and lots of local selection. Food is pretty good as well and it's a nice cozy atmosphere. Fills up pretty quick during dinner time, even on the weeknights!

One of our favorites, farm to table dining. A little on the more expensive side, but great for lunch or breakfast/brunch. Great patio!

It's been around for a while now and is still my favorite spot to go for a nice dinner. They have a great mix of affordably priced and higher-end options for dinner.

Brunch. Amazing dinner, but such a lovely brunch spot too. It's a bit high-end, but really wonderful. Good service and a recent James Beard award winner.

Most nights they have some sort of music/dj here. It's nice it's not downtown and too busy. It's reasonably priced drinks too and is close by to a lot of other fun bars and places to eat.

Parks & Nature
Really fun to go visit the falls right in the middle of the city. Beautiful paths to walk all around. In the summer they have a restaurant as well there that is great and has a ton of seafood and wine/beer. Fun little half-day visit.
