This is a great spot to get some nice tapas. La Vara is cozy with a brick wall and comfortable ambiance. The food servings are small, so if you’re in a larger group, it’s best to order a few different tapas. Start off with the aceitunas, a lightly citrus and herb marinated batch of olives. The berenjena con miel is another great dish – bite into crispy eggplant and experience a mixture of flavors. The honey and melted cheese are a great addition to this plate.

A great hit in terms of pizzerias, Lucali is a very warm and welcoming restaurant. Walk into this cozy rustic restaurant and instantly feel like you are in a home in Italy. The open kitchen is located in the back of the dining area, where the pizza is practically made in front of you. Get the simple margarita pizza. To spruce it up a bit, there are extra toppings that can be added. The calzone is really good as well, with a creamy ricotta and mozzarella filling and a side of tangy tomato sauce.

This spot is anything but ugly. The décor is sleek, with wood paneled walls and an elegant entrance. This is an ideal place to meet up with friends and have a special meal. The cheese platter is a perfect start, with a sheep and cow cheese and a crostini and raspberry jam. A great classic meal to have here is the chicken and waffle, it comes paired with an aioli sauce and maple syrup to give it more of a punch.

If you are willing to splurge a bit, then this is a must. Battersby is a supremely elegant place. The wall is adorned with brick and the kitchen is small, but the dishes they come out with are quite impressive. The presentation is exquisite and each dish has such a unique and flavorful taste to it. Try the Pappardelle, a tangy duck bolognese. Be sure to make a reservation, as there is limited seating space.

Another great spot for American cuisine. Hunters is a great hang out spot, although with slightly limited space, with a nice bar. The menu is not really expensive but quite varied. The rolled stuffed pork loin ($16) is juicy with a side of bacon, a sweet potato mash and a nutty taste to it. Otherwise try the mac and cheese with a blend of gruyere, parmesan, and cheddar ($16, $19 with the bacon). Add a bit of bacon to give it a tang.
