Food scene

The food at this Cuban-Peruvian restaurant is amazing but the atmosphere is an experience in itself! Laid-back, casual dining. It is great for kids and even has a small playground. B.Y.O.B. Cash only.

ZZ & Simone's
An eclectic, happy weekday lunch spot. Also a great place to pick up food for tailgates or picnics. For an easy supper in, pick up one of their frozen entrees to cook in the oven at the carriage house.
