I cannot say enough about the seafood and raw bar at Walter's. The bar steak is also amazing, and the place has a great energy, too. Absolutely order the brussels sprouts if they're in season.

This coffee shop is too tiny to spend time in, but it's great for grabbing a drink on the go. Also, the donuts are delicious and come in the most mouthwatering flavors. Try the dirty chai latte!
