Food scene
This is the closest restaurant to the house - only about 5 minutes down the road. "Farm to mouth dining at its best" as they say. Harry's has a great variety on their menu from steaks to scallops to Pad Thai (highly recommended!). They do take-out if you call early enough (before 8) but sometimes they are "too busy" to do takeout.
