With 15 years as a mortgage banker, companies that I've owned or managed have closed over $1.5 Billion in home loans. That's over 8000 families I've helped with their mortgage. From a food perspective, I'm passionate about finding the best wine, steaks and desserts anywhere in the world.
Restaurant: Filomena Ristorante
Rigatoni con salsicce with a glass of their house Super Tuscan. Great combination. Fantastic service. Almost forgot, the bread with pesto and evoo was delicious.

Went with a large group and tried several items. Highlights were the chicken fried chicken (sounds strange but it was as tasty as it was unhealthy) and the pork chop. Would definitely recommend ordering the pork chop.

Restaurant: Pomo Pizzeria
Had the Pomo pizza and it was delicious. As was the tomato and mozzarella salad.
I would recommend dining outside or at the bar as I thought they had a much better ambience than the main dining area.

Restaurant: Au Cheval
Not your typical diner. Fantastic burger and their take on a ham and cheese--the ham and cheese fondue was incredible. Definitely order that to split with everyone. Beer list was extensive and I discovered a couple great new ones I hadn't tried before. DuPont foret Blanche and the omnipollo Leon are both beers that I can't wait to have again!

Not very often do I "favorite" a place after only 1 trip, but this place was just an all around great restaurant. I was here with a group of 5 and we started with the smoked salmon, stuffed calamari, and asparagus salad. All were delicious...if you can only order one and are a calamari lover, this is the one for you!
I had the whole black bass--simply delicious. Cooked perfectly with a nice crispy skin. Other favorites were the salmon and striped bass entrees.
And, dessert--wow! The bread pudding was spectacular.
Finally, if you're a wine lover, make sure you ask if their sommelier, Matt Bradford, is in. Just one test shy of his Master Sommelier certification, he came by our table and shared some great wine stories and recommendations.
