A higher-end Chinese fusion restaurant.
Cindy's Rooftop
A quintessential brunch spot if you're looking for something a little more touristy.
Indienne
Robbie celebrated his big 3-0 here. They have an AMAZING tasting menu that is relatively well-priced. Just don't fall for their wine pairing - it's not worth it. You're better off getting glasses of wine.
Cafe Ba-Ba-Reeba!
A great staple for tapas and sangria!
Yours Truly, Oyster Bar
A great cocktail and martini bar! They have a good happy hour until 6pm on Friday.

Pizzeria Portofino
If you're looking for a good atmosphere, look no further than Pizza Portifino. It's right on the river.
Ciccio Mio
Our favorite Italian restaurant thus far. Very intimate speakeasy vibe. Make reservations at least 30 days ahead of time (they release reservations 30 days ahead of time).
Trivoli Tavern
A great restaurant with a speakeasy vibe. They have a little bit of everything (and it's all amazing) - seafood, steak, American and Italian. We promise you won't regret it. Also another fun fact: we celebrated our 4 year anniversary here.
Noble Thai
Our favorite fast-casual Thai restaurant. It's delicious and a Sunday staple.
The Other Side Bar
This was our first date spot (after Angela canceled last minute only to un-cancel an hour later).
The Northman Beer & Cider Garden on the Riverwalk
A great outdoor drink spot along the river! A little pricey but worth it.
