Best Restaurants for Local Ingredients in Arboretum

First of all Erin is the sweetest server. We have dined w/her several times. She has the perfect balance of checking in and attention. We loved the Caesars so much. Still thinking about it, as well as the carpaccio and seafood dish! Perfect date spot and perfect for our girls night.

Eberly is a great place to go for happy hour or a nice dinner before going to the opera

We came to Intero to celebrate my birthday with friends and had such a lovely experience from start to finish. Our server was incredibly sweet, friendly, and welcoming, and the food was amazing! We started with the focaccia served with whipped ricotta and honey, which was fantastic. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their entrées, and the portions were generous and filling. Their menu changes daily, which I personally love, as it highlights fresh, seasonal ingredients and keeps things interesting. Everything we ordered was thoughtfully prepared, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. Between the delicious food, warm hospitality, and inviting atmosphere, Intero was the perfect spot for my birthday dinner. We’ll definitely be back!

Fantastic staff. Great bar tenders. Food was wonderful

We’ve been going to Foreign & Domestic since we first heard about their popovers sometime in 2012. (Embarrassing for us to admit that we didn’t discover such a local gem until it made national TV.) Most recently we were there last night, somewhat on a whim (Oct 2026), to enjoy a wild mushroom inspired fall menu. In all that time, we’ve yet to experience even an “off-night”. It’s always been such an amazing treat! And I love the mix of reliable favorites with new seasonal surprises. For starters we shared the delightful Lobster *mushroom* bisque, and the wonderfully smokey mushroomy Matsutake. We had the Red-Pepper Risotto with its underlying but exciting spicy tang balanced and cooled by the pretty little dollops of goat cheese, the amazing sliced pork chop cooked *perfectly* with a beautiful crusty shell and tender middle atop that amazing gravy and alongside that delicious cornbread with such a fine crumb. Everything was stupendous, just as it always is. Not sure how y’all have managed to keep up the impeccable quality of food and service for this many years, but my hats off to you all. Here’s to the next 14 years!
