I love this place. Great food, clean, good service, great selections from the bar. It's right downtown in the middle of everything so it's a good place to take a break between galleries, shopping, museums etc. A great view if you sit outside or on their patio/ porch area.

Essentials

I like Fresh Market because their selections are better than other markets by far. They are more expensive though. Ask me when they have their weekly specials because they do have good deals on those days.
