Sweet Grass Diner's mission to help keep neighboring businesses thriving holds strong in its menu, which bursts at the seams with home-cooked meals comprising eggs, dairy, and fresh produce supplied by local farms. Helmed by Ray and Karan Stratford of Brioso Fresh Pasta, the diner’s kitchen turns a cheek to the owners' usual Italian fare and instead churns out breakfast all day, sating appetites with fresh-made pancakes, waffles, and farm-fresh eggs. Grilled-chicken sandwiches, hearty chili, and chicken-fried steak doused in sausage gravy all vie for palate popularity from visitors hungry for lunch and dinner. Bread pudding and lemon-meringue pie meet diners at meals' end, granting a sweeter farewell than an unexpected hug from the ice-cream man

The chefs at Harbor Inn Seafood cast a wide net across America’s vast waters, hauling up recipes for seafood standbys ranging from river-dwelling catfish to Atlantic denizens such as scallops and crab.

At Lime Leaf Thai Cuisine, husband-and-wife owners David Cheng and Kanas Lam meld Thai and Asian fusion flavors to fashion lunch and dinner menus brimming with curries, noodles, and rice dishes. They infuse the lineup with six different types of curries, including red curry, gang pa, or panang neur, accompanied by tasty submersibles of pork, chicken, or beef. To sate cravings for Vietnamese flavors, they serve up bowls of pho in rich broth, simmering with delectable bites of seafood or beef. And their hibachi-style red snapper communicates with taste buds through a series of mouthwatering sizzles and Morse code fin flips.

Lime Leaf Thai Cuisine reserves Friday nights for live music in its chic lounge, which occupies the upper level of a two-story space complete with an on-site wine cellar and a private party room.
