Nana's is by far my favorite restaurant in the area. The menu centers around New American cuisine. The appetizers/salads run from $5 to $12; some examples that I have had in the past are smoked trout with baby greens with a blackberry vinegrette, shrimp with wilted greens, etc. The entrees run from $12 - $22; some examples would be filet mignon on a bed of spinach and carmelized onions with scalloped sweet potatoes (last visit), duck with wild rice, baby root vegetables, and (?) berry sauce. I also had a sauteed softshell crab dish that has totally changed the way I think softshells should be prepared. The entrees tend to have one or two "meat" items, one or two poultry items, and seafood.

I highly recommend Nana's. I liked it better than Magnolia Grill, Wicked Smile, etc.

Also, Nana's finally has draft beer. They were featuring Rouge's Dead Guy Ale; it is MUCH better on draft.

Peace,
