Best fish/seafood restaurant on the planet: Big Mac & Little Lu's in Westminster. Wonderful little mom & pop restaurant & fish market. Their fish are never frozen. The owner knows charter fishing captains in FL who ship him fresh fish regularly. They go from ocean to restaurant in 16 hours. Talented chef, too. Or you can buy the fish uncooked in their market, and grill it up at home. We are REALLY going to miss this place.

High end restaurants:
Squeaky Bean awesome food and service
Old Major great meats and fresh ingredients
Fruition season menu with local ingredients
Buckhorn Exchange excellent meats and just a site to see holds liquor license #1
Sushi Den awesome sushi

Regular
Biker Jim's great gourmet hot dogs and sausages
Le Central great for a huge bowl of mussels and fries or a range of other French favorites.
Larkburger the Parmesan truffle fries are awesome
Dixon's good bar food
Swing Thai just good noodles
Pinche Tacos awesome street tacos featured on Food Network

I think it would be cool to arrange a fish and brew tour! Hit local fish stores and do brewery tours at the same time. We have enough of both.

Shhhh! Now everything will be tapped next time I ride the bicycle over there!

Seriously...this place has an awesome deal on Saturdays though. Slice of the day + 3 brews for like 16 bucks. Make sure you have a DD.
