Daily Grill

Talk about retro. In the case of the Daily Grill, retro means revisiting the food favorites of decades past (though the restaurant itself is only a few years old). Step right in and get your Cobb salad, chicken potpie, fresh fruit cobbler, and meat and potatoes -- all made with high-quality ingredients (and high caloric value). It's a big space, with a nice bar at the front and windows on three sides. The winding bar offers an extensive selection: good wines, lots of single malts, tequilas, and small-batch bourbons.

The Daily Grill rightfully claims a reputation for good service and large portions of grilled meats and fish. (The lunch menu boasts a BLT made with "half a pound of bacon.") You might find it hard to choose from the more than 40 menu items, but favorite orders are the short ribs, the chicken potpie, the meatloaf, and the onion rings. ... more

If you have a small appetite, look for the half and half combo options, like the $8.95 sandwich and salad entree that my 12-year-old and I both enjoyed recently: Each of us ordered a half sandwich of a BLT, and a Caesar salad. This BLT is not the "half pound of bacon" version that you normally get, which means it's actually the right size, and so is the salad. less
