This is where to go if you want a fancy night out. The menu rotates daily, ingredients are locally sourced, and the venue is small and intimate. La Medusa has been in the neighborhood for decades and is well known for their consistently bold and delicious menu. Be ready to spend a minimum of $100 and reserve a few nights in advance.
