Malainey’s Grill & One Hell of an Irish Bar is an upscale eatery with an extensive menu of familiar comfort food and a great happy hour. For something different, we like Open Sesame, a local favorite for Lebanese food since 1999. They can get very busy, so be sure to arrive early or make a reservation. If you’re looking for something more upscale, Nico’s Restaurant is a great option because of their seasonally changing menu, opulent décor, and extensive cocktail menu.
