Great happy hour selection with extended hours (3-7) and a fair priced dinner menu with some traditional options. They have a fantastic lunch menu as well. Try the wedge salad, one of the best in town. FYI, If crowded, this place gets loud.

Probably our favorite place to shop for veggies and fruits. This place is awesome for a quick dinner Monday thru Friday but be there at 5pm or you may miss out. Each night they have a different dinner(you can get a half or full order) and its healthy and almost always really yummy. We grab dinner here often when we want to eat at home.

Make a reservation even for a happy hour table. Try the bbq shrimp, wedge salad and a good glass of wine. This is a "foodie place". Only about a 7 minute drive, worth it.

Short, easy hike under a mile but once you get to the top, the views are pretty amazing. It takes about 25 minutes to get there but worth the view.
