My top picks:
Fine: RDG Bar Annie
(Gorgeous comes at a price but phenomenal save some cash and go, or try the bar menu still spectacular dishes under $16.)
Nice Casual: Hearsay
(Great atmosphere for couples. Online menu includes prices. The service is amazaing, and presentation is great. You will impress a date by knowing the downtown scene.)
Casual :Paulies
(When I would get bogged down by work I was grabbing take-out from this wonderful Italian delight. Great Alfredo, Paninis especially the Principe and a great oven made pizza.)
Cheap Street: Cali Sandwiches
(Cheap $2.31 great to eat, guilt free and best of all quick. In a pinch gather some change and head here. Unpretentious and hits the spot like nothing else.)
