Owner David Laxer carries on the tradition of excellence begun by his father Bern more than 40 years ago. Beef connoisseurs should make this restaurant first on their list of culinary stops. Known for its large selection of melt-in-your mouth aged beef and it is easy to see why it has won a wall full of awards. The "putting on the ritz" crowd have some 25 types of caviar to ponder and a wine cellar that pushed one half million bottles.

Ah, the age of the drive-in restaurant. Whether you lived it or read about it, here's a chance to experience it once more at this drive-in, which revives days of curbside dining on Saturday night. In business since 1929, this original drive-in restaurant is a classic in more ways than one. Using only the highest quality meat, this spot serves one of the best burgers in town. Add to that: crispy fries, fresh coleslaw, or a bowl of savory chili, not to mention flavored ice cream sodas, thick and frothy milkshakes and homemade pies. While drive-in curb service has been discontinued, inside service is still going strong.

Their menu is extensive and includes cold soups and salads such as Gazpacho, Caesar Tostada and Shrimp Ceviche. The hot selections include the savory Sopa de Frijoles Negros which is a flavorful black bean soup seasoned with lime, sherry, cream and onions, slow cooked Quava Ribs and spicy Chicken Tenderloin Habanera. Their house specialties include a tender NY strip Steak Rioja, roasted salmon and grilled Florida Tilapia. Save room for their signature dessert-Chocolate con Churros served with warm dip. – Vickie Ferguson
