Forepaugh's Restaurant
Though it recently underwent change of ownership, and a resulting change in decor and menu, Forepaugh's Restaurant retained its charm and unique dining experience. The restaurant is housed over nine rooms of a 19th-century Victorian mansion rumored to be haunted by the ghost of a former inhabitant. Unfortunately, the menu is no longer exclusively French, yet they've retained a few items that will satisfy your cravings. Forepaugh's is open nightly for dinner and serves Sunday brunch 11am-1pm.
