If you want it done right, do it yourself. At Josephine, the patés and the wines are all made on the premises. Co-owners Jeanine Henson and Bob Zagar work the floor themselves, resulting in professional, knowledgeable, and caring service. They’re serving a short menu of French or French-inspired dishes that begins and ends with crêpes, but also includes onion soup, coq au vin, and beef bourguignon. Forget preconceptions about puny crêpes. At Josephine, an entreé crêpe is both filled and topped with goodies, and, with its sides, it's plenty for a meal.

Richter’s Chalet is a throwback to those days before the Food Network, celebrity chefs, Neiman Ranch and Maytag blue cheese allegedly transformed American gourmands into gourmets. And its price structure also recalls another era when two people could enjoy dinner and drinks for $40. German-born Roland Richter Sr. founded his half-timbered restaurant a generation ago, the chalet seats 150 and serves a dozen German dinners, supplemented by several daily specials, both of which include soup or salad, averaging around $12. The desserts, none of which cost more than $3, are another one of Richter’s strengths. Chocolate cheesecake, hazelnut raspberry torte, and the classic schwarzwaelder kirsch torte (Black Forest cherry) are executed well.
