Skillet is an upscale diner. They take the basic dinner food and make it rather sinful. Great brunch, dinners, and desserts (though less of an option if you're watching calories or not eating meat).

The closest and easiest Chinese food around. For take-out or eat-in. We find ourselves here quite often on rainy (or lazy) days. There's a bakery too, but that part is best avoided!

The Elysian is an airy and open pub with better-than-usual pub food (with good veggie options, especially the black bean burger) and (since it's a brewery) tons of beers on tap. Cocktail menu as well.
