Local Italian restaurant/deli/grocer. Great gelato to boot! This place started as an Italian import grocer, so it is easy to miss since it is in an unassuming warehouse. Listed on opentable

Awesome Tex-Mex just a short walk away. Fajitas are excellent and the crab enchiladas are sooo good. It gets really busy in the evenings, so expect a little of a wait.

One of our favorite places for breakfast/brunch on the weekends. It is a cafe and bakery known for their croissants, but everything is awesome. The kouign-amann is a must have.

For a real treat book a reservation at Georgia James. Georgia James is Chef Chris Shepherd's version of a steakhouse, serving the food he likes to cook at home. Expect cast iron-seared steaks, lots of cold seafood, seasonal sides and killer desserts. It's unconventional. It's driven by quality. And, most importantly, it's fun.
Pro Tip: If you are with a group of 4 or more, forgo the menu and order the Baller Board...you won't be disappointed

BRC is a great place to grab a "fancy" casual lunch, dinner, or weekend brunch. A true gastro pub with 28 beers on tap and excellent fare. Try the Mac n Cheese of the week or a true southern special, Chicken Fried Steak. The Monday pub burger special is a true steal.
