Food Scene
Veranda Noodle Bar
14 Veranda StThey have amazing Pho and Bun. V8 is the best!
All of their food is amazing. Same owners as Hugo's but a much lower price point. Korean Fired chicken is amazing as well as their fancy soft serve. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu and they have wine on tap with a generous pour.

This is our "Go-To" sushi spot. It's cute inside, staff is great and friendly for little ones. We go for the sushi and the yakitori. They also have late night deals on food and drinks.
