Cuisine: American, Continental

Price Range: $

10Best Says

Best-described as an upscale diner, Rick & Anne's stands as a departure from the area's other high-profile eateries, eschewing haute cuisine for more traditional American fare. Owners Rick and Ann strive for "dishes we relished in our childhood." Among the top-flight comfort dishes highlighting the menu are macaroni and cheese served with sautéed spinach and a meatloaf sandwich with chipotle aioli, sweet peppers and grilled onions. Breakfast appetites, meanwhile, take solace in dishes like potato-cheese pancakes, red flannel hash two eggs any style, and hearty omelets. The setting meanwhile is relaxed and comfortable, making it easy to see why so many locals make multiple stops here each week.
