It’s a great place to relax and chat over delicious food and drinks in a sophisticated setting. Chez Fonfon is located at 2007 11th Avenue South.

Another local favorite for special occasion meals, drinks, and casual dining alike are two sister establishments: Bottega and Bottega Café. The fine dining side of the restaurant is set in a refined and elegant atmosphere that’s sure to add a touch of romance to your evening. The Bottega menu features Italian favorites interpreted by Chef Frank Stitt’s culinary magic, plus an extensive wine list and handcrafted cocktails. At the laid-back and bustling Bottega Café, you’ll find a more casual atmosphere with delicious menu offerings like crisp wood-fired pizzas, sandwiches, and seasonal vegetables.
