Food Scene

Lucille's is our favorite neighborhood restaurant. They have fantastic weekend brunch (chicken fried eggs benedict with bottomless mimosas? Yes please!), and are open for delicious southern-inspired lunch and dinner. Lucille's just rolled out a new menu this fall/winter, and there are some amazing new options! There's also a great patio out back to enjoy a cocktail or your whole meal! Tell Chef Chris that the Lins sent you!

This is a nice little Tex-Mex restaurant located just a couple blocks from the house. Our favorites are the fish taco special with a top-shelf margarita or cucumber lemonade. Reasonable prices, and there is outdoor seating available as well!
