| Favorites: | Seafood Bisque |
| Comments: | If you like seafood bisque, then this restaurant has THE BEST in town. Huge chucks of shrimp (not shrimp poppers) and a variety of seafood in a tomato bisque. It is served hot. Everything (temp wise is hot, but not too spicy). The entrees range from veal, chicken and beef. Bread comes with every meal, but you need to ask for more if you want it. |

| Comments: | Went when it wasn't crowded at all. Atmosphere was great but a little bit dim. Smelled good. Rack of Lamb was perfect and didn't take too long to be served, waiter was prompt and very good. If you like Med. Food this is a great place plus the town is neat. |

| Favorites: | Falafel & Hummous |
| Comments: | This family owned gem is in a small restarant N or the River. Mostly standard Mediterranean fare, but I personally prefer their food prices over Cafe Cedar and Sahara Cafe. Their hummous is one of the most addictive things I have ever tasted! |

| Comments: | I have authentic Greek and Lebanese food before, but it has been 10 years since I have ever seen this duplicated in a restaurant! I could not believe the great prices either! If you ever want the closest thing to Med. food, this is it! |

| Comments: | Down the street from many mexican restaurants, this is a nice change of pace. I was pleasantly surprised the first time I stopped here for lunch. Since then I have returned several times. The service is efficient, the food is always good, and the staff is friendly. I haven't had dinner here, but I am sure it is equally good. |
