Frontier

If you like food with a Southwestern flare ( and who doesn't), this is a great place to go. It's been there since the early 1970s and it has a wonderful nostalgic feel to it without feeling stagnant. It's also rather unique because you get to walk up to the counter and order whatever you want. This is something that's largely from a bygone era. The place also stays open late, so anytime you're in the mood for great food late at night, this should definitely be on your short list.

Antiquity Restaurant

Furthermore, they have some dessert that will blow your mind and of course, the atmosphere during the entire meal is designed to bring you that much closer to your significant other.

Pappadeaux Seafood Kitchen

Monroe’s Restaurant

Farm & Table

The name really does give it all away here. The restaurant prides itself on getting all of its ingredients from local farms so everything is fresh and goes directly to the table. They have a number of healthy options, even for vegetarians, but none of them taste like you might expect “healthy” food to taste. If you're one of those people that refrains from eating healthy food because you want something that tastes great, give this restaurant a try.
