Bistro Bleu: Enjoy French Fare

With fine French cuisine in a relaxed-but-refined setting, Bistro Bleu is a breath of fresh air.

Just moments from Coventry Court Apartments, this is a charming, cozy spot with friendly service and great food. For starters, you'll find everything from elegant dishes of escargot and duck liver terrines to lobster bisque and an excellent wedge salad. The list of entrees is a similar all-star roster, with steak frites and coq au vin as well as a ridiculously tasty bleu cheese burger. If you're coming in for lunch you can take advantage of one of the great prixe fixe options, or dig into a decadent croque monsieur. Whenever you come, it is absolutely worth your while to order up a chocolate souffle to finish off your meal. Reservations are essential.

Mimi’s Cafe: A Local Favorite

Known for dependable meals at great prices, Mimi’s Café is the place to go for your everyday comfort food—soups, salads, sandwiches, hearty entrees (meatloaf, pot roast, etc.) and more. Founded in 1978, this local chain is known by their custom-constructed buildings, which resemble French country cottages, as well as their excellent hospitality. Starting out in Anaheim, California, there are now Mimi’s in 28 states. Regulars all rave about the carrot raisin bread, served in the free breadbasket that starts your meal. You can ask for nothing but that in the basket and they’ll gladly give it to you. The food is competent if not extraordinary, with the usual mix of breakfast, lunch, and dinner favorites. The service is also polite and respectful, making Mimi’s one of the few restaurants in town that doesn’t seem like they’re trying to rush you through your meal.
