Great place to have dinner and relax on the Mississippi river. The price for margaritas was a great deal. Everyone should stop by and enjoy the river view. Great food, great drinks and great view of the river.

We stopped here to "waste some time" before the antique stores opened. We were very pleased! The atmosphere, the service & the food were all great! The macaroons & cookie we grabbed to go were delicious! Those alone are worth the stop!

The Sweetheart bakery has been around as long as I can remember and it never disappoints. You will be hard pressed to walk out of this place without buying some sort of wonderful bakery. Their homemade breads are "real bread" and the sweets will tempt you even more. The local folks love to meet here for coffee and sandwiches and will talk your leg off if you so desire! Check it out, you won't be disappointed.

We just stopped for the first time today for lunch. I was very impressed with the atmosphere, the friendly greeting and information and of course, the food. We ordered the Mississippi Club and the Cuban and were very impressed with both. I also tried one of the soups of the day and the flavor was so good - Mexican Chicken, I believe. We really enjoyed the homemade bread/bun, one white and wheat/whole grain that the sandwiches were served on. The ingredients were quality and fresh.
The menu has many items that we will be back to try. Salads, soups, sandwiches, scones, muffins, ice cream, cookies, coffee, the list goes on and on.
Thanks for a fresh lunch option in our area!

I've been going to Homers deli since i was a kid. They have always had good food, sweets, bread and donuts. The food has lot of flavor and being a vegetarian, there was alot of cheese and vegetables on my sandwich that made it a very big sandwich. I highly recommend going here.

The coffee here is absolutely top notch. The chocolate covered coffee beans are a huge bonus lol. The owners are very friendly and are great conversationalists while you're waiting for your order. They also have grilled bagle breakfast sandwiches that are delicious! Cheese, egg, and your choice of meat...yummy! They have smoothies, teas and hot chocolate too along with green smoothies that are very good for a hot day or really any time. Will be giving them business for a long time :)

I am a born and raised local, and Love Rastrelli's restaurant. Excellent and very tasty pastas, and the pizza is awesome...my favorite is the home made sausage (quite spicy)...even the large salad bar is a delicious feast! When our kids come back in the area,...MoreWe could not ask for a kinder review! Thank you for taking the time to comment not only about our pizza, pasta and salad bar but how your family continually chooses to dine at our 78 year old establishment.

This is a great family operation. They stick to a limited menu and do it well. Their lasagna and other Italian dishes are good but the star is the pizza. Regular crust is good but we really like the Chicago style deep dish, it takes longer but is worth it. The service is always good, everyone working hard to cook and present a great pizza.
10. El Toro Restaurant & Cantina

Reviewed By Candice C
Restaurant itself looks like the funky, windowless dark bar it probably once was, and the amusingly deadpan waiter looked like he might have come out of a David Lynch movie. However, the Mamacitia was jolly and friendly and my dish was delicious, generous and reasonably priced.
