10Best Says

This fun bistro turns to local farms and purveyors to serve seasonal, local dishes year-round. Park Cafe is particularly well known for incredible seafood and pasta dishes, so take note when you order. If you can arrive between 4 and 6 p.m., on a weekday, check out the $5 wine list--you won't be disappointed. One of the best things about this local mainstay is its outdoor seating area. The wide patio offers quiet ambiance with white table cloths, candles, and soft lighting. If you're worried about the weather, don't fret.
