Diners get a distinct New Orleans feel with a live band of fine jazz musicians that play almost every night at this popular dining spot. Selections of Cajun specialties include jambalaya and crawfish etoufée, but the real winners are Halibut Fortee, sautéed in lobster butter and garlic seasoned oysters. This place is not to be missed! Business casual attire.

HYDE PARK. This trendy eatery opened in an old bank building. Many of the items used in the decor, such as old safety deposit boxes, can be credited to the bank. By the number of business types that eat here, you'd think the bank was still in business! Lots of upwardly mobile-type food that's predictable yet delicious. Plenty of handcrafted microbrews as well. Dress is business casual.
