Food Scene
Really delicious German food, with a great beer/drink menu. On the pricey side, but it’s locally sourced, fresh food--we love this restaurant. Get the Jager schnitzel and Michigan Mule.

This isn't a sit down restaurant, but it's our favorite place to get Thai food. It's a tiny little place, with one woman that makes all the food (so plan ahead to either call your order in, or stop by in advance). The egg rolls are like nothing we've ever had, and the curry is pretty great (especially for the price). Bring cash, they don't take credit cards.

This is the former historic Delft Theater, now a restaurant. We've only been here for lunch, but the food is really good (but a little pricier). They project movies, sometimes with sound.
