Food Scene
This restaurant with a full bar is a locavore's delight. They use lots of local ingredients, including veggies and meats. Excellent options for vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free diets. The drinks are so good! I'm always up for a Hills Deluxe with guacamole, and a margarita on the rocks with salt.
