    Row 34 somehow manages to serve high quality, refined seafood dishes and also a fantastic kids menu. It's a favorite for our whole family. Food is always delicious, drinks are great, and service is fantastic with friendly and helpful staff. And I agree with my 4 year old when she says the fries are "the greatest I've ever tried!"

    Have you seen the film The Menu? This place is kind of like that in the sense that everything is curated and purposeful. My experience felt like being in a stylish fancy restaurant run by family. I felt like I belonged their and experienced food and drink I've never had before and left with a new perspective on food and dining in general. It felt like being in a movie with how well everything went it was all very relaxing. I could keep going but if any of this interests do, do yourself a favor and check them out. Granted you will pay a bit for it but it's totally worth it for the experience.

    As always, our time at Puddle Dock was delightful. The ambiance totally drew you in. Our waitress who we have had at a previous time was very accommodating. Seeing as there was one in our party who is gluten intolerant she was very helpful with choices. The food was mouth watering. We love coming here especially on play nights.

    Fantastic experience with the Crown Tavern. Service was fast and efficient. I had their schnitzel which was hot, fresh and delicious and one of the best schnitzels I've ever had... and I lived in Europe for several years. We also got the fig and prosciutto pizza. It was excellent as well. We like one-page menus because restaurants tend to do limited menus better than larger menus and this was no exception. It's half a block to a parking garage and across the street from the Palace Theater so it's also in a great location. Highly recommend!
