Cottage Place Restaurant

On the south side of the railroad tracks in a neighborhood mostly frequented by college students, Cottage Place is just what its name implies -- an unpretentious little cottage. But despite the casual appearance, dining here is a formal affair. The menu, which tends toward the rich side, is primarily Continental, with a few Southwestern influences as well. The house specialties are chateaubriand and rack of lamb (both served for two), and there are always a couple of choices for vegetarians as well. The appetizer sampler, with herb-stuffed mushrooms, grilled shrimp, and crab cake, is a winner. There's a long, award-winning wine list, and between 5 and 6pm, there are twilight dinners for $16 to $20.
