This smart seafood restaurant has built an enviable rep on its concise menu of straightforward dishes.

A family-friendly alternative to Madison Village's youthful bar scene, Sullivan's offers a quaint atmosphere, a well-stocked bar, and a small menu of salads, sandwiches, and such Irish standards as boxty and shepherd's pie for dinner and Saturday lunch. Frequent Celtic musical performances also help liven up the scene.

Somehow, life seems simpler after a meal at Superior Pho.

Under the guidance of well-seasoned chef Brett Montgomery, this 20-year-old restaurant in the downtown Renaissance Hotel seems reinvigorated.
