Hidden among a series of big box stores, Olive Terrace Bar and Grill is easy to miss. If you keep your eyes peeled, however, you'll be glad to find this chic eatery, with its bright, airy interior and eclectic menu of fusion fare coupled with a well-curated wine list.

The menu focuses on Mediterranean cuisines, ranging from Italian pastas and pizzas to Middle Eastern kabobs and dips. The menu even includes a few Spanish inspirations, like paella and tapas-style plates. If you work nearby, why not stop in during the week for a quick soup and sandwich on your lunch break? And after a long day at the office, dinner at Olive Terrace with the family might be just the thing. If you stop by on the weekend, you can indulge in the restaurant's "famous" champagne brunch.

If the weather’s nice, try to snag a table on the outdoor patio, where you can enjoy the breeze while you savor your meal.
