"Few restaurants offer the intimacy of Freeman’s. The long, narrow space with a brick facade and a minimal deck flanking one side is the kind of spot that countless couples no doubt think of as “our place.” It’s an ideal weeknight date spot, thanks to its unpretentious cocktail menu and mocktail offerings along with meat-heavy popular options like the top sirloin, caprese chicken sandwich with toasted pecan pesto, and poutine appetizer. There’s still an ample kids menu though, and a Butterfinger pie to complete any meal." - Eric Ginsburg
