Ali barbour's Cave is a must see. The roof is open so you could see the stars. The food is good as is the wine menu and beer. Reservations or recommended and dress is smart casual, no shorts etc. It is really an amazing place.

Favorite Dish: I had the vegetarian sheppards pie which was good. A friend had the steak which was excellent. I found myself sampling off his plate.
