Delicious Mediterranean food (we love the kabobs & ezme).
In the summers they usually have a string duet or trio playing out on the sidewalk which creates a very romantic atmosphere. Also BYOB!

Cozy in the winter and the sidewalk patio is vibrant in the summer! We have tried almost everything on the menu and haven't ever been disappointed. Favorites are the buddah bowl, chicken pot pie, and the chicken curry.

Sightseeing
There are a number of different companies that operate a riverboat architectural tour. I think they're all good. Check Groupon for discounts before booking.
