If you're looking for new and hip, go downtown to Washington Blvd. Kitchen K is running the show down there.
If you're looking for elegant, gourmet food, you have to go to Giovanni's on the hill. Without a doubt the best in the city.
kitchen K s food sucks, I was there a couple months ago for lunch, terrible...Agree with most of the above statements..but would have to add Charlie Gittos and Cunettos to the must go spots...Cunettos being the most reasonable
