Nokomis Dining
A fantastic menu, wonderful service, and a lovely patio make IE Italian Eatery a great date night spot but, with the addition of a casual counter-service concept right next door at Un Dito, it’s a go-to destination all day.
You can bet that the classic, casual bar fare at Bull’s Horn is done right when it’s coming from the kitchen of a James Beard Award-winning local chef. Don’t expect anything too fancy here though, the food and vibes at this neighborhood bar are laid back and fuss-free, right down to their weekly meat-raffle.
Head to Heather’s for an excellent all day café with a cozy ambiance and patio seating available. Perfect spot for casual, fresh fare and a glass of beer or wine.

“Farm to frozen” is the concept behind Pumphouse Creamery’s ice creams and sorbets made with natural and organic lolly sourced ingredients. Get a classic cone or try one of their more creative flavors like Lemon Infused Olive Oil & Sea Salt or Vietnamese Cinnamon.
