Food Scene

This is such a great spot! Family-friendly and really good craftsman brews. Best thing on the menu to devour is the burger. If you are cool with rare meat, order it rare. Wagu beef - nothing better!

This place is busy because it's awesome. Call in your order. The pupusas are awesome. Good burritos, we get Al Pastor. Good place to take and go.

They don't deliver; don't bother asking. You can walk but it's a hike back up. (done it before). It's really good Thai food; highly recommend the Thai Basil Beef and Green Curry. Great flavor!

Good spot for a bagel. The "Caputto" is our favorite; lox, capers, lemon, some amazing sauce... OMG! Bagel & Coffee. Sit outside. Zero tourists. Locals only. Next door is a cool gift shop.

It's a great spot for gourmet pizza and wings and the deep dish is comparable with Zachary's. (big rivalry, locally) The Goddess Salad is a winner.

Famous for the deep dish. It's pretty good!! Worth a trip, for sure. If Chicago is your thing, this is the place.

We go here for burritos. Also, if you want to make nachos later in the day; this is your place. You can order everything as a "side" and then bake your own nachos that night. Cheap. Delicious.

Call first to make sure they are open. But when they are open, it's a really cool space and they have some good food. Make sure to get passes to the mountain hardware employee store at the restaurant.

Pricey but good! Service is always spot-on. They have a nice bar. Great view of the Marina! It's a good Italian restaurant and the Marina is a nice place for a walk. Never had a bad meal!
