Our favorite (as well as many locals) love this place for brunch. Get there early though - it fills fast and they don't take reservations. It's a great fine dining restaurant for dinner as well. Traveling alone? Sit at the bar and make some friends!

Hands down the best fine dining restaurant in the area. We love making the trip for special occasions to try their rotating menu. There is a reason you have to have reservations ahead of time!
