Serving great sandwiches, salads, and pizza, this is the perfect stop for a quick lunch in the middle of a day of wine tasting or a casual no-frills dinner at the end of the day. In addition to wine, there are cocktails and a great selection of local and imported craft beers.
Historic Cook's Hotel, built in 1886, is the setting for a true, old-fashioned ice-cream-parlor experience. Try a sundae, and take home cookies made from scratch. If you don't feel like ice cream, the homemade soup is a great choice on a rainy day.
A popular roadside café serves burgers, sandwiches, great soups, salads, pizza, and daily specials. The burger selection includes not only beef, but seafood, chicken, turkey, and veggie options. If the weather is nice, sit outside in their beautiful garden area out back. A video game room keeps kids happy.
Robots take on the role of waiters at this playful downtown spot. While actual (human) servers are around to take guest orders and answer questions, androids on wheels are in charge of running dishes out from the kitchen, using their tray-stacked "bodies" to bring guests inventive cocktails, rich Burmese curries, and massive tea leaf salads. The presence of robots, coupled with a wall of plants and some bright neon signage, give this spot a fun vibe, while dark floors and ceilings and minimalist lighting add a romantic, sophisticated contrast.
