Food scene
There are several amazing places in town for fine dining. One of my favorites is the Bistro at Les Bourgeois. This is our local winery a few miles down Interstate-70. The food is so good and the restaurant sits on a bluff overlooking the river.

CC's Broiler is the most famous high end restaurant in town. It's really good and worth the prices which I still find to be more affordable than most major cities! For a party of two we usually spend $80-$120. I highly recommend the shrimp atascadero app and the battered asparagus is to die for! https://www.ccscitybroiler.com/

Murrys is by far one of the most famous restaurants in town. On most nights there will be live piano being played, it's a dimly lit, always consistent restaurant. I'm there about one a week! All of the appetizers are amazing, I highly recommend trying several. The Blue Chips bread is AMAZING! http://murrysrestaurant.net/ - No reservations here, you should expect at least a 30 minute wait on most nights.

If you want a unique dining experience, FlyOver is top notch. A little on the pricier of the mid-range restaurants, but their drinks and food are both unique and amazing. Every single thing on their menu is fantastic, my favorites are the fried cauliflower and the pretzels. https://www.flyovercomo.com

Booche's is the most famous burger joint around. It was recently featured as the greatest college town food by ESPN. It's very low key, I feel the waitresses are sometimes rude, but it's honestly part of the allure of the whole place! CASH ONLY! They don't have a website but here is their facebook. They're right downtown so you could walk around and check out campus or other downtown spots. https://m.facebook.com/profile.php?id=113818408645966

Close to the home is my favorite place for Happy Hour/Drinks -- Barred Owl. If you like Cheese/Charcuterie Boards, this is also a great choice! My favorite drinks are the Cold Black Heart (spicy marg), Squirrel Walks Into a Bar (Pecan Whiskey drink), and the Golden Ticket (Chocolate Martini). Sit at the bar, the bartenders are great! https://www.barredowlbutcher.com/

This is not a sit down restaurant, but a Italian deli! All their food is served in to go containers, you can sit if there are seats available but there’s no wait staff. This is incredibly authentic Italian, highly recommend! They also have fresh pastas and sauces if you want to make an authentic Italian meal at home. Woman-owned!

Sightseeing
I highly recommend checking out the Devil's Ice Box Trail at Rock Bridge State Park. If you go in the morning it won't be too hot and it's totally tree covered. Easy "hiking" loop (it's completely boardwalked and easy aside from a few stairs) with multiple caves to check out with easy access. https://mostateparks.com/park/rock-bridge-memorial-state-park
