 I second this! I work right around the corner from the Boat Street Cafe,
 and it is probably the only DECENT place to eat within walking distance of
 the UWMC. The chicken/smoked mozzarella sandwiches are to die for.
 We won't go into the desserts. Suffice it to say that it has seemed
 prudent to call UWMC down the street and reserve a room....

 I don't know why the other writer thought that Arnie's was "snooty"...in
 my experience they have excellent food, prompt service, and a great view,
 without horrendous prices. Consistently good food, nice atmosphere...what
 more could you want??

 Other restaurants close to the UWMC are Cafe Lago on 24th for great
 Italian food, although it is a little LOUD in there...I am more of a fan
 of white tablecloths/napkins than I am of the glass-cover over-tablecloth
 genre. But their ravioli is great.
