I recommend this place more for the 100% gluten free bakery more so than for the thai food. Although I do love the green papaya salad from there!

Amazing, Authentic Southern Italian Cuisine, the food is amazing and they have a great wine selection. This is for a fancy night out. The brick oven is just fantastic and they serve up the best fresh bread and garlic. Moonfire Lounge is right around the corner and is a great club for a sophisticated 30+ crowd.

They close at 3 pm and only serve brunch. The food is amazing and there often is a wait, but I promise it's well worth it. They have creative mimosas, killer benedicts (you can mix and match) and fantastic comfort food. These days the shrimp and grits is my go to.

BEST PANCAKES in the WORLD! I don't know what magic voodoo they put in them, but you can taste the vanilla bean in the cake. They are amazing! They have long waits on the weekends so I recommend downloading the no wait app and getting in line while your at home so you can rock up and have a table ready. :)

Great wine bar and the food is fantastic. Farm to table fresh and organic. I highly recommend the sliders with blue cheese and bacon jam as well as the burrata roasted red beet salad w/candied pistachio! A-mazing!
