Frommer's Review

Named for Superman alter-ego Clark Kent's day-job newspaper (I think), this popular spot is often brimming with college students and downtown workers on evenings and weekends. It's so cutting-edge that it's hard to believe it's been here for more than 20 years. The mild mayhem adds to the charm, enhancing an eclectic, fun menu -- and the food is better prepared than you might expect from a place that takes its cues from a pub (and probably has college students moonlighting as sous chefs). Look for such items as a blackened grouper sandwich, peach-glazed grilled salmon, pan-seared duck breast in plum-ginger sauce, cold noodles in spicy Szechwan sauce, and a mustard-swathed pork steak. Desserts are equally creative and good-tasting. Don't forget to check the specialty martini menu.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
