North by Northwest Restaurant & Brewery

Rustic lodge decor augmented by industrial touches lends an unusual quality to this popular, family-friendly restaurant. Beer is brewed on the premises (order the sampler to check out the ones you like best), and the menu appeals to a wide range of folks, from burger-lovers to adventurous sorts. Dishes worth mentioning include skillet-fried cornbread with goat cheese and mushroom sauce, barbecue chicken pizza with pepper jack cheese, rosemary pork loin with garlic-parmesan mashers, and a special chicken pot pie. Accompany them with something from the small, well-chosen wine list.
