Bon Ton. Gone but the most satisfying in its day.
Mandina’s. The working man’s Antoine’s
Vincent’s. Italian. What can I say.

Desi Vega/Mr. John’s today
Meril’s. For great all around casual dining.
Junior’s on Harrison
Pizza Dominica
Mr. B’s predictable and good
China Orchid. Best in town
R&O.
Station 6 if you have the patience
