Richardson's Canal House Restaurant
Housed in a nineteenth century-era public house, Richardson's Canal House Restaurant is the newest incarnation of this historic building which opened in 1978. Fresh seafood, steaks and chops form the gourmet menu. House specialties include a grilled beef tenderloin in a bordelaise sauce, roasted rack of lamb in an orange-rosemary demiglace and New York strip steak au poivre. A pub menu served in the bar area serves a small tavern menu, highlighted by homemade quiche, Kobe beef hamburger and homemade meatloaf. Dinners are served Monday through Saturday and lunch is available Tuesday through Friday.

Fruit & Salad Company
Natural and healthy are two words to describe the Fruit & Salad Company. Open since 1981, the family-owned restaurant focuses on healthy eating in an upscale atmosphere. Open for lunch and dinner Monday through Saturday, the all-day menu includes salads, sandwiches and scratch-made soups. Homemade chicken waldorf salad and in-house roasted turkey and beef are garnished with homemade aiolis, and fresh fruits and vegetables. Fresh ground, hand packed burgers are available with seven different cheeses and topped with peppers and onions (the Philadelphia burger), mushrooms and bleu cheese (the Blue burger), among others. Dinner time adds a menu which includes pastas, grilled chicken and fish. The chicken pot pie is a homemade chicken stew baked in a puff pastry.

Perlo's Italian Grill
Perlo's bills itself as "a tradition of fine food, family and friends." Each menu item is named after someone, from Donna & Jim Sidoti's braised short ribs (slow-roasted short ribs in a wine gravy with vegetables and potatoes) to The Mauro's Orecchiette with rabe and sausage (pasta with sauteed sausage and broccoli rabe). The highly descriptive menu showcases each dish's complexities. For instance the John, Tony, Lindy & Mike's veal saltimbocca is described as "milk-fed veal sauteed with proscuitto, portobello mushrooms, kalamata olives, fresh sage, escarole and marsala wine." Dinner is served Monday through Saturday and take out is available.
