Food Scene
Great southern comfort food with a sophisticated flare and still reasonably priced. Great cocktails and a great selection of whiskey (Scotch, Japanese, Bourbon). They have a mean fried chicken. Surprisingly kid friendly.

My new found gem. Delicious family-style and casual Tibetan food. You can't go wrong with the momos (dumplings) or the Shapta (stir-fried sliced tender beef with scallions). Great vegetarian options as well. Kid friendly.
