Going to a restaurant for dinner may be America’s favorite pastime—forget about baseball. We all love to eat. And while there are many different types of food and many different places to eat it at, one area that often gets overlooked is the fine dining experience. Upscale and gourmet restaurants can be affordable and some clock in at the $50 to $60 range, which can be manageable for anyone with a little bit of disposable income. If you are looking to experience a meal at its finest, here are three wonderful locations to try near your apartment. Click the links for each restaurant for detailed menu and pricing information.
