Food Scene
Here are some of my favorite spots to eat.
Phenomenal spot for brunch. The menu changes based on what's in-season and for some may be "out there", but they also serve some traditional dishes as well. Nevertheless the food and service are great here! Also I would encourage you to try one of their drink creations.

WOW! The food and service here are amazing. The menu changes periodically but you'll be able to find something on the eclectic menu which perfectly matches the decor.

It's inside Hard Rock Casino. You can either go to the jazz bar or restaurant side. The jazz bar has tables, cigars, and full bar as well as food service; while the restaurant side is full-service restaurant.

I just found this place a few weeks ago. They have a good microbrew selection which rotates periodically as well as good pizza and chill staff.

If you're into cigars and whiskey this is your spot. The entire place is a giant humidor with tons of different cigars as well as 100+ different whiskeys. It's one of the few places I've found with cigars AND liquor (not just beer/wine).
