Drinks & Nightlife
My favorite bar and restaurant in town. The only place in town open for food past 9pm for dinner on week days. Jame's Beard Award Winning Restaurant - incredible food! Definitely expensive but well worth it. Favorite bar in town with great cocktails! Asian fusion that will blow your mind. Ask for a table in the bar - it is way better than sitting in the restaurant and you get to be with the cool lanterns :)
