*Note- Because of the abundance of excellent restaurants in this area, it is simply a crime to waste time and money at a mediocre establishment. While this list does not include every great restaurant in each category, the ones listed here are guaranteed to please. If you are fortunate enough to exhaust this list, a second-string list is available upon request. Enjoy!
