Definitely one of my favorites because the food is AMAZING!!! Try the Manch Vegas Salad. This is not your ordinary salad, it is grilled veggies over a bed of greens. Enough for two people. I order a side of angel hair pasta w/ garlic and have plenty of left-overs. If you like mussels, they are the best around town. Scallops Casino is another favorite dish of mine.
Next door is a restaurant called 'Hooked'; same owner. You can order off either menu, but hooked is known for their seafood.
