Café Eau features a casual, relaxed atmosphere with dark woodwork and neutral tones. The eclectic American menu features such fare as Thai-basil tuna tartare with chili-lime dressing. Styled in rich Moroccan tones, Eau Bistro features a paprika-colored pressed metal ceiling and light fixtures created with parchment paper. This menu leans heavily toward seafood and may include Sushiko wood-roasted Chilean sea bass on peppery mustard greens with tamari-citrus vinaigrette. The eclectic Sunday brunch at Eau Bistro is quite popular. Reservations are recommended.

Eat hearty at this popular dining spot, where chicken-fried steak and salsicce are savory breakfast meats. Lighter fare is offered as well, and one tasty, heart-healthy option is the buckwheat pancakes. Dine in a bright and friendly atmosphere on the sunny, glassed-in porch.

The best breakfast bargain in town! Feast on bacon, eggs, sausage and potatoes. The regular menu features Huevos Rancheros, a meat loaf omelet, and an omelet made with oysters, bacon and cheese. The authentic decor includes black-and-white checked linoleum floors, vinyl booths and a low counter with chrome and vinyl-topped round seats. The walls are accented with Hollywood photos, albums and other memorabilia.

DOWNTOWN. A distinctive, modern, loftlike interior sets this hotel restaurant apart from the herd. Large concrete columns, lots of stainless steel, and exposed ductwork play backdrop to New American cuisine with touches of France and Asia. A miso veggie burger and ahi tuna are lunch and dinner favorites, respectively. A pleasant bar is a great pre- or post-dinner hang-out spot. Although the restaurant is a favorite for sophisticated dinners, families are welcome, too ­ there's even a special menu for little ones.

The highlight of this terrific spot is its large selection of homemade desserts, featuring a generous selection of cheesecakes, pastries, pies, muffins, brownies, cakes, cookies and ice cream. Order coffee by the serving, whether espresso, latte, cappuccino, regular or decaf, or buy it by the pound. Imported coffees hail from South America, Central America, Africa, Europe and the Asian-Pacific Rim. Ciders, teas and smoothies are also available.
