I am not from there - but we went up there and I was in the same situation as you all
we love Asian, steak, and miscellaneous ethnic cuisines
we found there were so many great places - you had to pick the times you had open (lunch vs dinner) and the mix of practical vs higher priced you want
Asian - Vietnamese, Indian, Korean, Korean BBQ, Middle Eastern, dim sum place
Steakhouse
Pizza
General High Class Joint that a Pure Steakhouse
Well Known - "Cool" destination place
let me know maybe what you guys are looking at - and I can pass along some of my research
@krista4 is a prior long term resident - she had some great recommendations as well
