Guy Reuge's informal eatery at the Three Village Inn is ideal for lunch and just as inviting for dinner. His full-flavored fare includes fine charcuterie and cheeses, grilled octopus salad, a lobster spring roll, chickpea fries with chile-driven mayo, steak frites, stuffed and roasted Berkshire pork chop, and, for an elegant finale, the house's ginger-and-almond tart.

'The Original" George Martin still is a reliable, friendly restaurant for unpretentious food. It's a neighborhood mainstay and a downtown destination. Some recommendations: filet mignon sliders, blue-cheese- crusted filet mignon, marinated skirt steak with onion rings, herb-roasted chicken with garlic mashed potatoes, grilled tuna au poivre, burgers, salads.
