Food Scene
One of my top favorite restaurants. Yes, this restaurant is located in the same building as a gas station, but don't let that fool you. Caffé Rel brings amazing food and a wonderful ambiance. Be sure to check days/times open and to bring cash since they do not accept cards. (ATM beside them.)
