With a pleasant and upbeat atmosphere, Mario’s is the perfect place for a date night.

Le Chat Noir

This charming family owned bistro offers a traditional French menu in a more intimate and private setting. If you’re open to trying new things, I recommend their escargots in a fresh creamy garlic sauce. Their wine list pairs perfectly with the entire menu.

Hero’s Restaurant & Brewery

Most notably known for it’s eccentric American themed decor this brewpub offers good ol American fare and two full service bars. Be sure to come here with an empty stomach as their portion sizes are quite large. For my fellow vegetarians I recommend their veggie sandwich, made with toasted squaw brand and yummy hummus spread.
