Award-winning chef Walter Staib takes you on an 18th-century gourmet-dining journey that is not just for tourists. Come hungry to this intimate, upscale tavern in Old City, which features items such as West Indies pepper pot soup (a peppery beef stew), plump and crispy cornmeal-crusted oysters and rich entrées, including seared duck breast. Try the warm, crumbly apple cobbler or Martha Washington’s decadent chocolate cake.

 

The Fountain offers patrons an elegant Franco-American dining experience in a luxurious room with gracious and attentive staff. From the flower arrangements to the trolley of international cheeses and world- class desserts, The Fountain’s attention to detail is unsurpassed. The menu changes daily and is inspired by international influences and the freshest local produce. An eclectic Sunday brunch also is available.

 

This Main Street venue is a destination and an experience, and it serves simply elegant and exotic combinations of food. The tables are tight, but no one seems to mind because the menu is full of interesting dishes. Don’t miss the seared yellow-fin tuna served with sushi rice, grilled- pineapple salsa and wasabi soy dipping sauce. If you have room, the blueberry cobbler is sweet and satisfying.

 

It’s a hip bar, romantic late-evening venue, indulgent dessert and nightcap spot and one of the best places for a formal Sunday brunch all in one establishment. Diners can take in a breathtaking view of its [name]sake fountain. Whether casual or dressed to the nines, the Swann Lounge is perfect for every occasion and mood.
