Mia Bella Trattoria
Mia Bella is a cute little restaurant located downtown -- great for before theatre or sporting events. I've tried many of the menu items and all are delicious. My favorite is the Quattro Formaggio (4 Cheese Pizz), which includes blue cheese...yummy!
Field Of Greens
I have heard a lot about this place as a "healthy alternative" lunch spot. I couldn't even decide what I wanted to eat because everything on the menu looked so scrumptious. I settled on a tabouli and avocado sandwich. It was so so awesome, and it came with fries that were sprinkled with some sort of spice. I have never had fries that good. My mom enjoyed her portabello sandwich. They even had tofu fries!
We sat down and our food was out very quickly and piping hot. My grilled cheese was on some type of mutligrain bread that was rock hard (I think too many oats isn't conducive to grilling it) and they used shredded cheese that wasn't melted all the way through. My fries, however, rocked. They were amazing. And delicious. And mouth watering. Course, the ketchup was some type of organic stuff that didn't help too much, but since the fries were so good, it didn't matter.
The wi-fi here is free, but very spotty. The prices were reasonable.
Beavers Ice House
We've been to Beavers, twice now. The food has been excellent both times. The first time we went, we ordered the sampler plate, including ribs, brisket, sausage, and pulled pork. All very good. They have an extensive beer menu as well. The appetizer called Bar Bar was very good.
Even though they have just opened, the service was very good and everyone seems to know what they are doing (not always the case with new restaurants). We'll definitely go back again.
Dantons Gulf Coast Seafood Kitchen
We went to Danton's a couple of weeks ago and had a pleasant experience. The raw oysters were great and both of our soups were fantastic. The stuffed shrimp wasn't overly impressive. The owner came by and introduced himself to us and thanked us for coming.
The food menu is somewhat limited. The bar seems like a good place to hang out as well.
Dharma Cafe
Everything on the menu is made at the restaurant - breads, pastas, even the ice cream. We tried a seafood pasta dish and a seared tuna dish -- both were delicious delicious.
Zoe's Kitchen
When I feel like eating healthy, this is where I go. I love the gruben sandwich. I have tried many items, including the chocolate cake (yummy)! I've never been disappointed with anything I've ordered. The staff is always very nice.
My Dog & Me
This place is amazing! It is owned by a dog lover. They are located in a huge facility, with separate training center, activity center, retail space and cafe, in the Heights. It has every possible service or class you can imagine - grooming, obedience classes, agility classes, fetch classes, first aid classes....you name it they have it.
Urban Bicycle Gallery
After many years of not being on a bike, I stopped in this bike shop and bought a great bike at a great price! I was not sure if I would really like riding and they helped me pick out a hybrid that fit my purposes perfectly. They did not try to sell me things that I didn't need, but made sure I had the equipment that I did need. They also provide great services after the sale for all bikes they sell.
Tri on the Run
This one centrally located (near Memorial Park) store has everything for the triathlete. The knowledgeable staff will gladly help you get the perfect fit whether its running shoes, swimming goggles or a bike. They also have a new fitness center providing spinning, yoga and other classes.
Bikesport
BikeSport is a great shop with personal service. Check out the "Really Good Deals" link on their website. They helped me pick out the perfect bike for the type of riding that I do. Plus, I got a really good deal and a professional fit. I highly recommend checking out this bike shop!
