I like this place because you can get good food and great drinks. They have a patio if the weather is nice or a good indoor space. They are right across from Ciao, Roam and American Kitchen. Park in the main parking lot and walk around until something appeals to you.

My favorite place for pizza! They only offer one kind each day but the area and the food is worth the drive. Right around the corner from the Cheeseboard is a great cupcake place for dessert and Peet's coffee.
