The dimly lit fine dining restaurant (think old-school touches and white tablecloths) is renowned for its succulent BBQ baby back ribs smothered in homemade barbecue sauce. You can also fill up on an assortment of hearty steaks, chicken, seafood dishes and salads. The bar side boasts a super casual atmosphere, year-round patio with full-service bar, plus plenty of TVs to catch the game. Locals love soaking up the sun and sipping potent beverages on the seasonal sidewalk patio, especially during the annual Old Town Art Fair.
