If it seems like every bar or restaurant has a gimmick to bring people through the door, you might be wishing for a spot that has more authenticity. Look no further than Qube Bar and Grill, a casual spot just a mile from Hillside Square.

This restaurant opened in July in a spot formerly occupied by Paul's Diner and it's already creating a buzz in the local dining scene. One of the draws is that it offers breakfast all day, so if you get a hankering for French toast dusted with powdered sugar and strawberries in the evening, you know where to get it. The rest of the menu is truly unique, drawing its inspiration from American food, Asian cuisine, Mexican dishes, and everything in between. Eaters have been raving about the tandoori burger, calamari, and butter chicken on social media. What do you think you'll order when you go?
