      thanks for the replies guys! we actually went to tarantino's for lunch and jakes burgers for dinner. both were pretty good, i really dug jakes actually. theres so many places out there, i cant wait to try em all!

      have any of you been to that spot attached to the cordon bleu? it looks pretty interesting, pork cheeks and duck on the lunch menu!

      Too late now, but I actually think Marston's is a pretty good place for lunch. Food is rather charming and the crowds are nowhere near insanity levels like they are during breakfast and/or weekend brunch.

      Another good option would be LGO.

              What type of food are you looking for?

              There are a lot of places in Old Town.

              For something simple and good vibe....Barney's Beanery has good food and the place is awesome to hang out at.
