America's Bistro, the perfect location for a romantic meal, offers an upscale dining experience, including an extensive wine list. The attentive wait staff is eager to please guests, accommodating reasonable requests. Opt for the grilled steak, rack of lamb, jumbo lobster tail or one of the restaurant's renowned pasta dishes for lunch or dinner. Ask for a special serenade for the evening; the piano player knows numerous songs by heart, but is not available at lunch.

The small diner atmosphere of Blue's Cafe may initially put people off, but the delicious dining experience renders the restaurant a must-try place. Serving breakfast, lunch and dinner, the servers in the smoke free restaurant attempt to meet every need and request. Choose the fresh handmade hamburgers or caramelized grilled chicken with salad for lunch or dinner and the create-your-own omelet for breakfast. Desserts are the prize at Blue's Cafe, so make sure to leave room after the meal. Although less romantic than the other options in town, Blue's Cafe is still a pleasing dining experience.
