Pine Tavern

$$$
A pair of ponderosa pine trees actually grow through the back dining room in this downtown landmark, which two venturesome women opened in the height of the Great Depression. As the longest-operating restaurant in the city, it keeps old-timers coming back for what hasn’t changed: the focus on traditional American cooking and the warm scones with honey butter.

Zydeco Kitchen & Cocktails

$$$

The blended menu of Northwest specialties and Cajun influences has made this elegant but welcoming restaurant (named after a style of Creole music) a popular lunch and dinner spot for more than a decade. On the menu, fillet medallions, chicken, and pasta sit alongside jambalaya and redfish dishes. In warm weather, ask to sit on the patio.
