Local Favorite Eateries
Loved For: Locally owned and specializes in gourmet pizza pies, craft beers, out-of-the-ordinary wines, and sangria. Environment is chill and laid back.
May I Recommend: A Carafe of Red Sangria (if you're a daredevil, ask them to mix the two) and Greek Salad to start, Doro Pizza on a Cauli Crust for the main event, then any of their desserts to finish (go for the Cozy Trio, I dare you).

Loved For: Locally owned and specializes in incredible selection of wine and seasonly rotating menu. Sit at the bar or a table. Reservations may be required during busy season. Environment upscale and inviting.
May I Recommend: A bottle of your favorite wine (ask knowledgable staff for pairing recommendations) goes with everything. Everything on their menu is divine, but I find it most most fun to order several small plates and share with my friends. Make it a dining experience. Cheese Curds are a must.

Loved For: Locally owned and known for the best Mexican food in town. Visit on the weekend for music on the patio!
May I Recommend: A LARGE house margarita on the rocks, salted rim (be careful, they're dangerous), and chili con queso with chips and their trio hot sauce to start. If you're feeling spicy, try the New Mexican Enchilada Plate. My favorite is the cheese enchiladas with the chunky New Mexican green chili sauce. BUENO!
