Fine Dining
Ellington's Jazz Bar and Restaurant is recommended by Concierge.com as being a New York style supper club. This restaurant is very elegant and has a grand piano that has been signed by some big music stars. Enjoy specialty meals like the spiced-rubbed grouper, filet mignon, or the pistachio dusted duck. After your meal, enjoy a couple trips around the dance floor, dancing to the live jazz music played every night.
Affordable Dining
A popular local hang-out is Mel's Diner, where you can enjoy comfort food at a very reasonable price. Bring the whole family, the mile-high pie can feed up to four people for only $5. Blue-plate specials include pot roast, chicken pot pie and country fried steak.
