McCormick & Schmick's Harborside at the Marina

The menu offers as many as 30 different seafood items, depending on what is available locally. Expect small sharing plates of appetizers, plenty of shellfish and a lengthy list of fresh seafood that is sauteed, fried, poached and baked.

Henry's 12th Street Tavern

Henry's is housed in a 140-year-old brewery, one reason why the restaurant might boast about having more than 100 beers on tap. The menu offers a wonderful fusion of comfort food prepared with a gourmet attitude. Chianti espresso braised short ribs are a popular choice as is the old-fashioned, slow-roasted meatloaf. Fish lovers will want to try the spice-rubbed ahi tuna.
