1. The Lobbyist is a Michelin-recognized dinner spot on South Main where the kitchen ignores every culinary border it was supposed to respect. Indian, Mexican, Thai, Italian, all showing up on the same menu without apology. The mid-century room looks like it has opinions about keeping things classic, and then the food arrives and proves otherwise. Portions run generous, so bring people you actually like.
