Eastside Cafe is very nice, moderately priced (especially if you stick with the pasta and avoid getting whole bottles of wine) and has the coolest vibe and nicest waitstaff in town.

I took some out-of-town guests there this weekend and they loved it!

FYI, West Lynn Cafe is vegetarian; if you want meat, it's not your place.
