For a special night out and one of the best views in the city, check out Fahrenheit. Friendly atmosphere, local cuisine with vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options.
Ask for a table next to the windows and wait outside on the balcony on a clear night:)
It's about an 8-minute ride/drive or a 35-minute walk.

We love this not-for-profit eatery! In addition raising funds to feed the spiritual and physical needs of the needy in our community, The King's Kitchen also provides an opportunity for those once considered "unemployable" to learn a trade working in the restaurant industry. And, you'll find some of the BEST southern-inspired cooking in town made from the freshest ingredients sourced from local farmers.

Here’s one we haven’t personally tried yet, but it comes highly recommended by one of our recent guests from the UK. It’s less than a 15-minute walk from our place, supports a great local cause and we hear the food is tops:) Great for coffee and breakfast.
