Great local food and a fun atmosphere. Go for dinner (no reservations) and prepare to wait a little while with a cocktail at the bar. After dinner, venture next door to the Maple Leaf Bar to hear some of the best local musicians (Tuesdays is Rebirth Brass Band)

New to the neighborhood, and so good I wish it had always been here. Lu Brow, the bar manager, makes the best cocktails in the city! Order everything and share plates. Tell Bobby that Kim sent you.

My favorite Sunday brunch. On a nice day, sit in the courtyard sipping bottomless mimosa's ($12!!) and be serenaded by the strolling three piece band. Perfection!! Dinner is excellent as well.
