Great local restaurant with a wonderful atmosphere. The menu is limited but great place to share plates with friends. They also have a bar you can drink/eat at and give you an ice cream cone after your meal! If you plan to go be prepared for a wait or make reservations--they open later in the day.

Maxwell's is one of my personal favorite spots in town. Great food (try the edamame or beef tips!) that never disappoints. If you're looking for a quaint space but great food, drinks and people--try here!

This restaurant has been using local and organic food to create amazing dishes before it was a mainstream thing to do--and they do it best! I've never been disappointed with a meal here and highly recommend for breakfast/brunch! They have a bakery, bar and restaurant in one place. I take my friends and family here when they come in from out of town!

If you've never heard of a, Juicy Lucy, try it here at "The Home of the Juicy Lucy"! A Juicy Lucy is a burger with stuffed cheese in the middle! My new favorite is the one is stuffed with peanut butter with jam on it! **it's first come first serve and seat yourself so be mindful of who is in front of you to know when it's your turn for the next open table!

This is my favorite lake to hang out at. There is a little playground for kiddos and a swimming spot. During the summer months Sandcastle is open to grab food and beverage. A rental place is also on sight that have canoes, kayaks, SUP, etc. The lake is small and does not allow motors on it.
