Food Scene
This restaurant has delicious food and drinks. I highly recommend the bacon of the month appetizer, super tots, and some seasoned popcorn while you wait for your entrees. It gets busy for dinner, but worth the wait. They have patio seating as well and kid friendly.

Drinks & Nightlife
They have a restaurant and night club, but its all about the speak easy. You just go into the lobby's phone booth, pick up and they will give you the password. You go upstairs, straight ahead, knock on the door and you are transported to a nod to the past. They have a limited bar menu. I tried the mac and cheese and an Irish Maid, both were delicious.
