El Jardin – best Mexican food in town with unique salsas

Cactus Jacks –  best place to watch the Niners win the playoffs. I know, the food might be better at Firewood across the street; but they didn’t have the sound on. Murphys Hotel may have a full bar but it’s too crowded there to hear the game.

Alchemy – excellent food, wine, and beer, creative menu choices, but also a creative schedule. Heading over at 8PM because their website says they are open doesn’t mean they’ll be open.

Grounds – most consistently good food with a consistent schedule.

V Bistro – best cocktails and pub eats.

V – best dinner for two spot in town.

Mineral – best vegetarian restaurant and lovely plates.

Firewood – best carnitas tacos

Magnolia – very unique menu and delicious offerings; try it for brunch
