Food Scene

Super close and easily one of the best restaurants in the area! It has great cocktails/beer list, and amazing mussels! It's very small though, so I suggest getting a reservation.

If it's winter, this is a no-brainer for the namesake alone! Amazing food but really really amazing desserts. Very small so try and grab a reservation!

Best tacos ever!. The outdoor seating is also great in the summer but be prepared for a wait. Or enjoy your wait with a margarita.There's also a take-out side for something a little quicker.

Okay, I know this isn't close, but it's a great Italian spot. The patio is FAB and they give you blankets when it's chilly out! Plus it's by other shops and restaurants that are fun to check out too.
