Fodor's Expert Review Sweet Melissa Café and Front Street Tavern

If you need a break from steaks and burgers (or if meat is never your thing) this charming downtown café is the local spot for vegetarian and vegan eats, as well as carefully crafted cocktails brought right to your table from the adjoining tavern. The menu is extensive and diverse, with Asian, Mexican, and Mediterranean influences, with a good selection of desserts and a menu for kids, too. Front Street has a historic pub feel and offers a long list of signature and classic cocktails, as well as wines, beers, and various types of liquor—even absinthe.
