#2
Mordecai
7.6
A New American bar and dining room that leans into polished mains and a strong burger-and-cocktails lane. It works best as a sit-down meal on quieter nights—one main plus one shareable starter—so timing and execution stay tight.
Must-Try Dishes:
Mordecai Burger, Fried Half-Chicken, Eggplant Parmesan
What Makes it Special: A cocktail-forward New American room where the burger is the anchor.
7.6
A newer neighborhood tavern that aims for scratch-made comfort food with a clean, modern sports-bar setup. It works best as a casual group hang—order one pizza or sandwich lane, add one fried shareable, and keep expectations in the bar-food zone. The room is built for watching games without feeling stuck in a dive.
Must-Try Dishes:
Tavern-style pizza, Fried chicken sandwich, Wings
What Makes it Special: Modern neighborhood sports bar with a comfort-food core.
