Food Scene

Their waffles are to die for! Great coffee, too. Go before 9:30 AM to beat the rush (30+ min wait after 10 AM on weekends).

Fantastic farm-to-table eats in the heart of the village. The food, ambiance and service are all top-notch. Daily happy hour specials from 5-6 PM, and all day on Sunday. Enjoy 1/2-priced bottles of wine on "Wine Wednesday" and a $14 burger/beer combo on Burger & Brew Thursdays. One of the best restaurants in the area!

Delicious, authentic Turkish food - dine in, take-out or delivery options. Atmosphere is nice, despite location/exterior. Definitely try the grilled octopus.
