A good friend of mine owns/operates the oldest restaurant in town, the very solid & popular Edelweiss German Restaurant. Great atmosphere, cool/hip area and an awesome beer garden/patio that will accommodate your dog and often have for music performances that accompany classic dishes like schnitzel. It's happy there and they are fast becoming one of the best dessert places in town; that's my favorite part. Ha!
