Tucked away in an alley, Tasi is one of our favorite stops for breakfast. This place has a healthy and diverse menu, they are a small place and fill up fast so going early in the morning or during slightly off-peak hours is our recommendation.

A little pizza gem in our backyard. It's small on the inside but if the weather's nice, ask to sit on their patio. It's surprising large and hidden out back. It's great for groups and nice at night under the string lights.

Excellent Mediterranean addition to the Short North culture. It's a "Chipotle-style" ordering method. You create your meal as you walk through the line up. If seating is full inside, they have a few tables outside in back.

You can sit here and watch the tv or the night life. They do also have a drive thru which you can access behind from the alley.

Drooling just thinking about this place. An Italian restaurant with great charcuterie and cheese. One of their most popular items is their giant meatball appetizer. One of our favorites is the Melted Pecorino Cheese app.
They also have strong gluten-free substitutes that don't compromise on flavor or texture.
Definitely recommend a reservation to be on the safe side, although high tables near the bar are first-come, first-serve.
If you're not opposed to dining at the bar though, you should always be able to find a seat pretty quickly.

Inspired (I'm told) by ABC Kitchen in NYC. The environment of this restaurant is beautiful. This place is one of the classier restaurants on the strip, although it's not up-tight. Not too fancy.
If you're in town for work, this is a good place for business lunches or dinners.
It's large which means you're more likely to get a table and/or have a shorter wait. Great food and they're open for brunch!

If seafood is your thing - specifically, Oysters - this is your place! Personally, I don't do seafood but have always found strong alternatives here. My husband and friends however, LOVE oysters and they always leave The Pearl happy!
This place books quickly however so reservations are recommended. Unless, you don't mind dining at the bar, in which case, you shouldn't have to wait too long.

Practically in our backyard! This is a new addition to our long-standing SMITH BROS building. It's on the rooftop and has a great view of the city skyline. It's definitely instagram-worthy at dusk. They are a gin-bar with an upscale indoor/outdoor lounge atmosphere. For food they have Caribbean-inspired small plates.
