Nicest restaurant in town. On the waterfront. Food inspired by the flavors of Latin America, the Caribbean, and Spain, features fresh ingredients from local markets, farms, and ranches of the Northwest. Good wine selection. Main dishes usually range from $21 to $40, most in the mid-20's with their Filet Mignon at $38. It is excellent!

Broken Yolk Cafe
119 Southwest 3rd StreetBreakfast place. Get a lot for your money.
Cibelli's Pizza
820 NW 9th StBest pizza in town in my opinion. Pizzones (calzones) are really good too!
Donuts! Nutcakes is the best around. Cork's Old Fashioned Donuts of Albany is a good backup. Many like Death by Donutz, but I find them too sweet (if you can believe that).

Expensive, but you're worth it. Great selection of salsa. They carry Nut Cakes donuts. . . not as good as from Nut Cakes directly, but pretty darn good. On-site kitchen with sandwiches and prepared foods. It's the nicest market in town, offering the finest quality of food and products, plus their buffet is fresh and full of variety!
