The hibachi (my favorite) is excellent as is the sushi (Nicole’s favorite). There isn’t sit down hibachi here. You’ll need to go to Wasabi in Weston for that.

This is an excellent restaurant. We’ve never had a bad meal here and it’s run by a Newman(our school) family. Ryan’s tip: try the Sangria and their top shelf tequila. The owner is a tequila lover and stocks the good stuff. Sip it.

This place is new to town. It has a great upscale diner vibe but the price is right. It’s a beautiful space. If you’re not hungry when you walk in you will be after the sizzling of the flat top catches your ear. We both had burgers and they were excellent! A tip: if you don’t like seasoning on your fries be sure to tell them. Also it’s the rare place in town open past 9 or 10. 7a-12a.

We have been here several times. All the desserts are excellent. I particularly recommend the honey cake, the mango vanilla cake, and the pavlova. Love having a European bakery in town.
