This popular neighborhood restaurant remains one of the best eclectic seaonsonally inspired menu offering contemporary takes on everything from chicken to steaks to pastas. Plus, most dishes are under 20 bucks. For dessert, try a small plate candy sampler based on chef Steven Obendorf's own family recipes (his grandparents perfected them in their candy shop). Deleece is also a magnet for Sunday brunch-lovers, with its cinnamon-orange upside-down French toast, spinach-artichoke eggs benedict, grilled chicken sandwiches and a breakfast pasta with scrambled eggs, breakfast burrito. Try Sunday's special champagne cocktails.
