    Mexican -

    This neighborhood spot features upscale Mexican cuisine including lots of wood-grilled and roasted meats and fish, and lots of small plates. There’s also a great tequila selection; killer margaritas are shaken at the table with a flourish. A small sidewalk patio is the perfect way to spend a sunny afternoon. D (daily).

  • Six Feet Under

    Seafood/Bar -

    Cornmeal Georgia catfish platter with “killer” coleslaw, oysters on the half shell, little neck clams and an icy draught beer are ideal companions for the rooftop at both locations of this casual restaurant.
