Notable Picks
#1
Maple & Ash
8.8
A high-energy Gold Coast steakhouse where wood-fired cooking, tableside theatrics, and a deep wine program drive the experience as much as the beef. It’s built for celebratory nights and big-ticket ordering, with the kitchen strongest when you lean into its fire-roasted steaks and seafood-forward showpieces.
Must-Try Dishes:
Fire Roasted Filet Mignon, Fire Roasted Seafood Tower, I Don't Give A F*@K
What makes it special: Wood-fired steakhouse theater paired with a serious wine program.
A Gold Coast dining room where the fries land as a luxe side that matches the room: hot, aromatic, and designed for lingering. The move is to anchor your order with one main, then add the truffle fries as the shared table centerpiece.
Must-Try Dishes:
Truffle fries, Burger, Lobster roll
What makes it special: Truffle fries in an iconic showroom setting.
8.4
A Gold Coast standby for Southern-leaning American comfort in a warm, garden-y room that works for brunch or an easy dinner. The kitchen’s sweet spot is classic comfort done with restraint—crispy chicken, rich sides, and desserts that feel built for lingering.
Must-Try Dishes:
Buttermilk fried chicken, Shrimp and grits, Beignets
What makes it special: Southern comfort cooking in a charming, garden-accented setting.
8.3
A Gold Coast all-day cafe that wins on dependable, diner-plus execution—hearty plates, calm neighborhood energy, and a menu built for repeat visits. The best move is to stay in their comfort-zone lane (hashes, omelets, steak-and-eggs) where portioning and seasoning land most consistently.
Must-Try Dishes:
Pulled Pork Hash, Mexican Steak & Eggs, House Omelet
What makes it special: A true all-day neighborhood cafe with reliable, hearty breakfast plates.
#5
La Fournette
8.0
An Old Town French bakery-café that locals use for grab-and-go bread, pastry, and simple café lunches. It shines when you treat it like a daily utility spot—pick up a loaf, add one standout pastry, and keep the rest of the order classic.
Must-Try Dishes:
Baguette, Almond croissant, Ham and cheese croissant
What makes it special: French bread-and-pastry counter with strong everyday utility for Old Town.
#6
Somerset
8.0
A stylish hotel-dining brunch that works best for polished group catch-ups and cocktails-with-food pacing. Keep the order focused—one signature brunch plate plus one shared side—so you avoid the ‘wide menu’ trap and get the strongest execution.
Must-Try Dishes:
Chicken and Waffles, Brunch Burger, Breakfast Potatoes
What makes it special: A polished Gold Coast brunch room with a cocktail-friendly pace.
Worthy Picks
A party-forward Old Town patio where brunch succeeds when you treat it like a group rhythm: quick starters, one clear main lane, and drinks that keep momentum. Fries or a shareable starter first, then commit to a single core plate so everything stays hot and cohesive.
Must-Try Dishes:
Dime Piece Pizza, Trixie Salad, Jalapeño Homies
What makes it special: High-energy Old Town scene with pizza built for group ordering.
7.7
A high-energy Old Town bar-and-grill with an American menu that’s designed for steady ordering rather than a single knockout dish. It works best for sports, brunch-y daytime hangs, and group dinners when you want dependable classics and a lively room.
Must-Try Dishes:
Burger, Chicken tenders, Mac and cheese
What makes it special: Big, lively Old Town bar for American classics and games.
