Established in the early 1930s, this well-regarded restaurant near Cherokee Park is known for first-class cuisine. A classic shrimp and grits appetizer is updated with shiitakes and tomatoes, and Medjool dates are wrapped in bacon, stuffed with chorizo and goat cheese, and dressed with tomato sauce. Main-course fare includes an herb-crusted pork chop, beef tournedos, and honey-roasted crimson snapper. Don't leave without trying one of the heavenly desserts made by the outstanding pastry chef.

One thing is for sure – you won't go hungry at this local favorite. Mike Linnig's has been around since 1925, and it hasn't changed much since its opening, to the delight of longtime regulars. The restaurant is known for generous servings, whether it be of fish, shrimp, chicken, frog legs, oysters, turtle soup, or onion rings. Happily enough, you're also apt to see construction workers buttering their cornbread right alongside Brooks Brothers-clad businessmen. Enjoy outdoor dining when the weather permits.

Set in a former saloon and watched over by its amiable Irish owner, The Irish Rover has an eminently engaging atmosphere and is a center of local sociability. That's a plus, but the menu is also a boon, plying folks with a host of authentic fare. Start with Scotch eggs or cheese-and-chive fritters, and then consider smoked salmon and potato gratin, Guinness beef stew, leek and mushroom quiche, fish and chips, cottage pie, or bangers and mash. Guinness and Smithwick's come from the source, and Saturday brunch includes a traditional Irish breakfast that ably satisfies purists and ex-pats.
