Set in the historic Ferran Dept. store building, with brick walls and wooden floors, this is a beautiful, yet comfortable, restaurant with plenty of seating, a full bar, espresso bar, live entertainment, and great food. The menu is fairly eclectic – you can get some great fish & chips, or one of the best filet mignons in the area, or a special of swordfish topped with jumbo shrimp. And there's an incredible Sunday brunch buffet with champagne. With live music most weekends and free WiFi, it's a destination in itself.
