This is a great dinner spot. Make a reservation for the classic car to pick you up and arrive in style. This is a tourist and local spot alike. If you don’t want to put on the nice clothes, the bar is a really cool spot to get drinks and appetizers. This restaurant has the very cool trolly to take you down.
