Once an overcrowded hotspot, this bar is still very popular. The large outdoor patio sets the mood for a quiet conversation or a moonlit martini. The drinks and food aren't anything special, but the atmosphere more than makes up for it. The crowd is a broad mix from punk to yuppy.

Fast food they way you always hoped it would be. The thin little burgers are always hot, juicy and tasty. While the menu is extremely limited, you won't mind. Whatever they serve, they do it up right.

A little French, a little Italian and a little American. Whatever you want to call the cuisine, there's one thing most people agree on: It's really good. The setting is elegant. The food is innovative and tasty. The wine list is notable. A touch of hipster with a classic bent. Never disappoints.

The biggest problem here is how to dissect the beautifully sculpted towers of food without it landing on your lap. The answer is to dive in. As good as it looks, this place has been serving up skyscrapers of innovative cuisine since the mid-1980s. With an interesting menu, great service and a wonderful atmosphere, this restaurant remains at the top of its game.

This tiny, ultra-trendy spot continues to get raves from locals and critics alike. Featuring an innovative menu with something for everyone, the carnivores love the pork, while the vegetarians rave over the pasta. Don't miss out on the weekend brunch.
