Blue Grotto   

Keeping with the theme of its ocean-inspired name, this tapas bistro, decorated in shimmering shades of blue, features a soothing waterfall to dine by. As you might expect, the menu, too, focuses on the sea, with many Mediterranean inspired dishes such as the pistachio fried shrimp or the blackened cumin tuna with spiced garlic mashed potato and saffron aioli. If you're not the seafaring type, there are plenty of offerings from the land as well -- try the grilled rack of lamb with sauteed vegetables and home mint jelly or the chicken satay with peanut sauce and cucumber salad. Vegetarians or those looking for lighter fare have options as well, ranging from the organic spinach salad with vinaigrette, dry cranberries and goat cheese or the hummus with cucumber, feta cheese and olives on grilled pita bread. The tapas are priced for sampling (around $6-$9 from the dinner menu or $5-$7 from the lunch menu) so bring friends who like to share. If you're not in the mood for tapas, the restaurant also offers a variety of sandwiches and wraps like the blackened red snapper or the grilled portabella wrap. Note: Happy Hour (Monday-Thursday 5-6:30PM) at this relaxing bistro is a big draw for the after-work crowd: you get a complimentary house drink with the order of any two tapas.
