Excellent Indian Food. Beautiful paintings on the wall. Really hungry? Go for the sampler for two. More food than you can eat for only about $50 out the door. Great deal. Well-rated on Zagat.

Great neighborhood cafe owned by a sweet Swiss couple. Good local vibe and free WiFi. Nice outside seating under the trees in the sunshine. I go there almost every day.

Great cafe, breakfast, and lunch. Must try the Godfather omlette - awesome. Their veggie scram is also superb and I'm not even a vegetarian. Currently closed for renovations (FEB - MAR 2014).

Very, very good sushi and nice staff. Not the greatest ambiance - was a different restaurant earlier and not renovated. Still worth it! Favorites are the Four Seasons, Eclipse Roll, and Lobster Roll!
