Incredible sushi. They make their own soy sauce in-house, and it's soo good. Even if you're not a nigiri fan, you should try it here.
They also have more vegetarian options, and much better ones, than I've seen elsewhere.

Mexican-inspired restaurant right next to my house.
Their queso fundido is. so. good. (I say that as both a cheese-lover and someone who's lived on the Border most of my life). Add the rajas for sure.
Love their Pineapple Margarita and grapefruit-heavy Paloma.
If you ask for their jalapeño margarita Super Spicy they'll actually deliver!
Taco Tuesday specials happen every week.

El Five has some incredible food. The flavors are all complex, delicious, and unique. It's a Mediterranean fusion, tapas-style restaurant.
The decor is just gorgeous. And their outside balcony has beautiful views of the city.
You can also just come for drinks and enjoy the view!
