Chez Zee

Regulars and novices alike have been flocking to this bistro for 10 years running thanks to its 20 wicked dessert options. Fourteen gluten-free menu items mean everyone can go out for dinner.

Clark's Oyster Bar

Blessed by Neptune is this thoughtfully curated seafood menu. We tried the decadently rich Lobster & Farm Egg en Cocotte – basically a classic French oeufs en cocotte with a large lobster claw and a piece of the tail meat. The accompanying grilled carrot and asparagus salad was good enough to make a tasty entrée itself.

El Arbol

Try the icy, sweet caipirinha, the house specialty made from cachaça (cane sugar rum), lime, and sugar, then delve into steaks, grilled meats, and empanadas, as well as lesser-known Argentine favorites such as matambre, a flank steak pinwheeled with spinach, carrots, and egg.
