We go here for steak night on Wednesdays between 4:00 pm to 10:00 pm for $15. Get there before 8 pm as sometimes they sell out! But if they do there are other delicious and fresh menu items available. You get a generous filet topped with a couple of fresh shrimp-they have three bars to suit your taste to chill inside, outside or on the terrace.

Spacious environment that draws a lot of artistic patrons. They have live music performances, free films and gallery exhibitions. Check their website calendar for event listings. Serving both breakfast and lunch/dinner, I recommend the buttermilk pancakes in the a.m. and the duck salad after noon. For easy parking, many people park along the residential street behind the restaurant for a short walk to the front door on Dunlavy.

I like the casual atmosphere and numerous coffee and tea selections. The parking is easy here. Try the SCRATCH SQUARE BISCUITSwith crèam fraîche & marmalade. It's enough for two people! Also good was the SMOKED SALMON DILL SCRAMBLE. They have free wi-fi for guests with plenty of counter space for lap tops.

White linen dining
This one is still my absolute favorite! Most incredible upscale service from the wait staff. As for the food, think Texas Wagyu prepared like steak is supposed to be and expertly prepared Stuffed lobster tails.
