Baked brie with almonds, vegetable lasagna rollups and firehouse chili doused with a generous helping of cheese get diners headed in the right direction while they peruse the list of tasty main dishes – an assortment that includes quesadillas, steaks and seafood. The interior space is casual and charming with a brass firepole and an authentic "Pufferbelly" (an old-timey horse-drawn fire wagon) while the outside features streetside dining.

ERIE. Housed in a charming stone cottage, this restaurant seems to have been plucked from the English countryside and transported to the shores of Lake Erie. Sophistication and class define this restaurant at every turn, from the cosmopolitan cuisine to the expert wait staff and the talented chef. Both outdoors and in, the ambiance is one of gentility and romance – swans, a waterfall and a pond outside, antiques and a warm, glowing fireplace within. Chicken and shallot fricassee, black angus prime rib and lobster-stuffed filet mignon are just a sampling of the culinary delights that await. Reservations are an absolute must.
