Tilli's

Detail: Neighborhood families and singles fill this modern-yet-homey restaurant. Two rooms are separated by a floor-to-ceiling fireplace, while an open-kitchen and large bar are in easy view. The menu mingles comfort food and inventive dishes. Large appetizers like macaroni and cheese, or spinach and artichoke dip are best for splitting. For entrees, try Thai barbecue salmon, Gorgonzola pork chops, moist herbed chicken or rigatoni with fennel sausage.
